Beef ribs in the Brunswick I put lump charcoal and chunks of wood in a pan to develop more smoke..... It does heat up the Brunswick somewhat......

I did the same way smoking with pork butt last week and it gave it more smoke flavor then smoke tubes......

This is the same concept as my Heavy D and a whole lot cheaper!

The beef ribs came out with better smoke flavor than before using smoke tubes The smoke flavor was not overpowering just right…

Yeah real wood and charcoal are hard to beat.
Just curious, when you did this what temp did you run? And did you put water in the pan? Just wondering because I normally use my vertical at lower temps to start off but I assume at 175-200 the charcoal and wood chunks won't burn. Never tried, so I don't know. Want to give it a try but want to know what temp and if you used water in the water pan.

I ran the temperature at 150 with the charcoal and the wood chunks brought the temperature up to 250° be careful the first time I did this I had too much charcoal in the pan and it went up to 500° and shut the Brunswick off…. I run all about eight pieces of lump charcoal and two pieces of woodchucks then I replenish when needed and let it smoke for two hours the beef ribs came out fantastic not too much smoke but enough smoke that you had some good taste not like a pellet smoker remind me a oven cooking…. I did leave the temperature at 1:50 for approximately four hours and then brought it up to 275° to finish
Thanks I will give it a shot one weekend. Did you put water in the water pan?

I forgot to mention right side of the Brunswick runs cooler and the temperature was approximate 200° instead of the 250° on the left side where the charcoal and woodchucks were
