Yes, the charcoal feeds down via gravity. The top of the chute is closed, so, no air going up, no fire going up.

what keeps it all from falling into the firebox or just piling up in one place doesn't seem like it would heat evenly without filling the whole charcoal grate seen the pics of them all over the net but know they work it s a very interesting concept would love to see one in person to get a better understanding how it works

The Stumps site is fairly useless. Lots of expired links.

The burn area on a gravity smoker is really small. At the bottom of the chute is a grate that keeps the burning coal from falling into the ash pan until it is pretty much burned to ash. There is still enough hot coal falling through to ignite wood chuncks though. Right above the grate is a tube that takes the heat from the burn area to the cooking chamber. There's an airtight lid on the top of the chute to keep the chute full of charcoal from burning up. On my cooker the burning area is 6" x 6" x 4" tall.

how much lit coal does it take to load it to get it started and then do you fill it with the rest to the top when you say the burn area your talking about where the charcoal is right not the ash box where the ball valve is at correct and when u want smoke you just throw chunks in the ash pan?

Propane torches work good also. Wood chunks go in the ash pan. Some people pour already lit lump or charcoal down the chute and then fill it with unlit fuel.

They are said to burn about a pound of charcoal per hour. I am sure that the weather affects the amount of charcoal used somewhat but they are insulated. jon |
