Superior Smokers SS-2 Crash Course
So, as many of you know, I am one lucky SOB who managed to snag a Superior SS-2 through the Empty Stocking Fund donation/raffle campaign put on by abangs and the Gainesville Jaycees with some sweet prizes donated by some awesome vendors! I have thanked all those involved many times already today and it just doesn't seem sufficient!
I had never even heard of one of these types of smokers before joining the Brethren a few months ago. So, I have done a bit of digging on operating this guy and would love some super helpful pro-tips from you experienced gravity fed guys. Feel free to add to my list:
I'm assuming I can keep the chute loaded anytime I use it and just choke out the fire after each use, then just re-up the chute with more Stubbs? One day soon I will probably get a wifi Guru/Stoker/Heatermeter. Is the 10cfm just right or is it overkill and the 4-6 cfm units would suffice? Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Sounds good, 10cfm fan would be perfect. Thr fan has its own damper that allows you to reduce its output. Congratulations on the awesome prize. The relighting of the smoket is the interesting part. I've seen people use weed burners and also weber starter cubes on a firebrick to relight the bottom of the charcoal chute where the fire burns. People do use lump in them if you prefer it, they just break up the large pieces to avoid bridging issues.

Peeps sounds like you have it outlined pretty good to me. I think the 10cfm fan is what most folks run.

I just spoke with Kevin to arrange shipment and he said even the 6.5 cfm PartyQ would run this thing like a champ! So, I'll evaluate my options and total costs and see which one will suit me best. I'm sort of a gadget dork, so it will likely be a wifi unit

What am I dropping off? The SS-2 don't fit in any of my vehicles and loading it up isn't listed in your steps? I'll bring you a lump o' coal, how 'bout that?

I would light it from the bottom, using a map or plumbers torch.
I would also use lump, i use royal oak, as i can got it reasonable, and close. if you leave charcoal briquets in the shoot, they may take on moisture and swell, i do this with lump, but it does not seem to hold moisture the way briquets can. i can pretty much now time my cooks, so i just run it empty and put fresh in. enjoy.

Amazing. I will sip some tea in your honor. Dammit.
But seriously good things happen when you do good things. Your support of a worthy cause had a great result. Maybe you could name this smoker "Johnny Smoker"
