| Light the Final Fuel |
  | After the kindling is burning hot with a flame coming out the lid as you work the bellows, add a handful of final fuel on top of the kindling. Dry, compressed wood pellets are ideal; you may also use strips of burlap, twigs or chips of hardwood, bark, or other slow-burning material. Stay away from wood containing a high sap content, such as pine, cedar or juniper. Immediately after adding the first handful of final fuel, stoke the fuel to get it burning by squeezing the bellows repeatedly. Keep working the bellows until you get thick smoke coming out the lid of the smoker. |
