- How can I bring the heat down on my smoke vault?
- There are a couple things you can try. First, you can drop the chip tray right over the burner. If you have the LP burners with the holes on top you can drop nails with a large head into some of the holes. Also make sure that the vault is out of the sun.

- Do I have to use the water tray every time I use the smoker.
- You can use the smoke vault with or without the water or chip tray. Depending on what you're cooking and how you want it cooked. The water tray is going to make the outside of the food more moist. You would not need to use either trays if you are baking in the vault.

- What is the best type of wood to use for smoke as far as chips, chunks or pellets?
- Chips are very small pieces of wood that are great for small, quick bursts of smoke. Good for smoking food for a short period of time. Chunks on the other hand are large pieces of hardwood, creating smoke over a longer period of time. Pellets are to be used in a pellet grill, not the smoker you are referring to here. Therefore, we would suggest to you chips, chunks or a combination of both.

- Will it work on natural gas, or is it propane only?
- The Camp Chef smoke vaults will work with natural gas after some modification to the valves orifice and using a natural gas connection kit, http://www.campchef.com/natural-gas-connection-kit.html. You will need to use a #50 drill bit to drill the valves orifice out. If you need further instructions, then please e-mail us at support@campchef.com and we would be happy to send that to you.
