Yes you can. It comes with a tool to lift the grill and diffuser together. Just drop in a couple hunks and continue cooking.

Just sayin'

Mike, Have you tried using Bradley pucks with this?

Post by: N. Ontario Smoker on June 14, 2016, 10:28:44 PM: Because of the fan I think the fire will be too hot for pucks. It would burn too quick.

No I haven't but I think they would incinerate in about 5 seconds and for the cost of them probably not worth it.

Title: Re: New Member of The "Red Corvette Club"
Post by: ACW3 on June 17, 2016, 06:58:45 PM: Well, I just finished a quick cook on my new Cook Air. I did take some pictures, but will not post them since it looks like all the other "Little Red Corvettes" on the forum. I cooked a couple of Bubba's Burgers and they came out great. I need to find some chunks of wood. I found that my local Lowe's only carries the Western wood chips, not chunks. I had to stoke the fire several times with chips to get through the cook.

All modes with the fan worked as advertised.

Post by: muebe on June 17, 2016, 08:08:22 PM: Yes you need to find chunks. Lowes should order some for you. Ask them to. Then they can carry them.
