Try a low n slow in there for sure though.....it is all I had at first and I was smoking butts and ribs and everything in there....
It will do the job, and pretty good actually....save a bunch of charcoal too. Worth a shot to try it once for sure. I even started smoking small picanha on the Jumbo Joe, saves charcoal and that doesn't take too long to do.
Lit charcoal, wood hunk combined doesn't leave a lot of room for raw charcoal though, something to keep in mind bit it burns across the basket and when there is 1/4 left, shake it down and reload...that should take care of most of your needs right there.
It is by far may favorite accessory. I have even done wings with it, a full basket of glowing coals mind you but works as good as a small basket on each side, maybe a bit better even. I haven't done the wings with briq's, just using jealous devil.
