Commonly available fuels include, charcoal briquettes, lump hardwood charcoal, wood chips, and hardwood logs. We recommend hardwood charcoal; it burns hotter and cleaner than standard briquettes. If you want to add smokiness, consider adding some hardwood logs or wood chunks to the fire. If using wood chips, wrap them in aluminum foil, poke some holes in the foil, and put the packet directly on the coals.
