Akorn grill smoker

[bucko]

I have been experimenting using Kingsford charcoal in my akorn yesterday I put 1\2 chimney unlit in my akorn I then lit 5 coals and placed on top the added 2 chunks pecan wood when fire reached 150 I placed my stone in and pan of water on the stone placed grate on then my Maverick shut the lid about 30 minutes later closed top and bottom vent almost all the way just barely open it stayed around 240 to 250 for 10 hrs I had to shut it down before I went to bed I think I will be using Kingsford instead of lump from now on
