Yes. Charcoal goes in the bottom ring and a couple pieces in the top ring. This is a great cooker!!

Yes, you use the matchlight kind that you don't put lighter fluid on. I have even bought the store brand with good results. I LOVE this smoker, and have given away my Brinkmann! It is so easy to use, I will never go back to the water pan, soaking the wood, watching the temp., etc...

Yes. You put it around the outside and on the top. We love ours. the best investment that we have made in years. You can cook a chicken at the same time that your cooking ribs.

When you are in convection mode, you may use metalware. However, if you go into the microwave mode at any time you may not use metal. This is a great oven and I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. We had a smaller version of this model and we used it for over 12 years until it broke. They don't make that model anymore.and we got this new one. I wouldn't have any other oven.

I am not 100% sure if you can or cannot use charcoal. We have only used wood.

Absolutely!! I use both regular and wood lump charcoal, but the construction of this grill will easily stand up to the intense heat of raw wood. Grill On!!

Yes you can use charcoal. We used a combo of a few briquettes and a few small pieces of hickory or Apple wood.

I have used chunks of different sizes with good results. Neither chips or chunks will burn to ashes so what remains can be used to add smoke when grilling with charcoal briquets.You will have to use more chunks than chips though to get the same effect, because food apparently absorbs more smoke flavor early on before cooking temperature gets high and chips will initially outgas faster during that stage.

The banjo will not, at least not that I have found...the jet burner needs to be on fairly heavy otherwise it will leave soot. Tried to keep a small kettle on warm with it and it blackened it. The banjo probably would too, just don't use them on low. It is a great cooker, will hold a VERY heavy kettle and heat up quickly.

You can use any kind of charcoal you want. I use the cheapest stuff they sell with lighter fluid because the fumes never touch the meat.

This is bizarre. I just got a microwave\convection combo. On page 7 of the operations guide under optional kits it says JX81D Circulating Charcoal Filter Kit. On page 29 (maintenance) it says WB02X10943.... So they must be at least somewhat interchangeable. Since this one is $7.08 and the other is over $25 I know which one I'm getting.

Yes, you can throw some wood chips in the charcoal and keep put the lid on. This would would work best with indirect cooking and given the size of this Smokey Joe it may just not be big enough.

Not at all. Better yet, it won't taste of charcoal lighter fluid either. the gas burns without odor or taste. Additionally, I only use the gas long enough to get the coals going so food is not on the grill when the gas is on. I do a ton of grilling (meats and a LOT of veggies)...this grill is perfect. -Charlie

I have not used charcoal but I see no reason why you couldn't use it. The steal is strong and will handle any kind of burning material. It's a very well designed piece--I have used it at least 50 times and it holds up really well.

My husband indicated you may cook with wood but it is not a good option stick with charcoal.

We don't think so; you can use very little charcoal and we often only cook for 2-3 people total.

The cooking times are based on using Matchlite. Regular charcoal will work, but cooking times will be off.

I have the charcoal only model, but there is a model (Go-Anywhere Portable Propane Gas Grill Model # 1141001) that uses a small propane tank.

My husband put it on our regular charcoal Weber. He loves it and says it works great! I've notice a difference in his cooking too. :-)
