How to Use a Firebox Basket
A firebox basket is an accessory for your smoker that contains the coal in the center of the firebox, ensuring that air can flow above, under and around all sides of the fuel. Better airflow means a better smoke, and that makes better barbecue.
With regular use of a firebox basket, you’ll use it as a gauge or measurement to plan your cooks in terms of “this cook should take about three-fourths of a firebox basket of fuel.” While the fire is burning, you’ll note a consistent refueling point, i.e., “when the fuel gets down to about one-third full basket, it’s time to refuel.”
