I just picked up a new to me, 2016 Ole Hickory CTO. It is going to be replacing a Cookshack FEC120.
I am trying to determine the amount of wood and/or charcoal that I should be putting in the basket for a cook. I have read the manual, and searched all over the internet, and there is not a ton of info out there.
Any current CTO owners want to share what works best for them?
I did my first cook on the 4th of July, and used one 12" hickory split and 4 chunks of apple. I cooked a brisket, butts, and ribs. When i put the ribs on after about 4 hours, I added another split and 2 more chunks of wood.
We had a decent amount of smoke on the large meats, and the ribs were lighter in smoke flavor.
I would appreciate any and all tips and suggestions.
Thanks!
Pete
