Cover the base of the tray with unlit charcoal. The amount of charcoal used depends on the amount of meat you're cooking. A kilo of charcoal for each kilo of meat is a rough guide. Ensure there's enough fuel to cover the underneath and a couple of inches over.
Empty a full chimney of lit briquettes evenly over the length of the charcoal and, once the charcoal is glowing, use a tool to spread charcoal evenly. For best results, the flame should not be directly under the meat. It should surround the meat, thus preventing fat dripping onto the charcoal and causing flare ups and burning.
The smoker will reach ideal cooking temperature for your chosen meat quickly, so make sure you're ready to bring in the rod, attach your meats and switch on the rotisserie!

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
