Regulating Heat; Adding Charcoal - Tenneker TC-Smoker Gebrauchsanweisung

Regulating heat

The heat can be regulated by the amount of charcoal/wood
and its ventilation.
The temperature can be increased by more ventilation
and/or adding charcoal/wood to the firebox 9 (total max.
of 1 kg) or the cooking chamber 3 (total max. of 2 kg).
The temperature can be decreased by reducing ventila-
tion.
Open or close the air vents in the ash door 11 and on the
chimney 1 for more or less ventilation.
NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal. Hardwood such
as hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent fuel.
Make sure the wood is seasoned and dry.
