Q: The cooking grate is cast iron, do I need to do anything to season it?

Yes. Take a thick slab of freshly cut onion, (some say a big slice of potato works as well) and rub it through out the grill. Do it before each session, and the grate will not stick and will look . . . eh . . . grate. The juices react to the high temps and prevent staining and sticking. One of the top chefs in Chicago swears by this. Having tried it, I use it every time I grill.

Q: How is it in terms of smoking by itself? I saw there are a few aftermarket stones, but are they even necessary?

I have three other smokers but this is replacing them except for large smoker because it can do more volume. The acorn works great. Definitely get the smoke stone and the pitmaster 101. It's the best way to smoke and keep temp constant. Example I'm smoking a one pound piece of pork belly that's been bringing. It'll smoke at 225. Yesterday I made belly burnt ends then let the komodo heat up to 400;for shrimp skewers. It's definitely worth the money. If you want to know more just contact me. BBQ ers help each other. I have at least 35 years BBQ smoking experience. Enjoy. Peter

Q: How do you add coals or lump coals while you are slow cooking a big peice of meat for 8 hours ? the only place I see to add coals is through top ?

I have had this grill for over a year and have done a few brisket and Boston butt roasts. I have never used any lump charcoal because I still had a load of briquette I bought on 50% off sale from Home Depot. I have never had to add charcoal for the brisket low and slow cook, 8 to 10 hours long. Set at 225 degrees it would easily go the entire cook without need to add coals. The thermal efficiency with this smoker is amazing.

Q: How difficult is it to clean the old ashes from this grill?

I used to take the bottom off. But it was a bit of a hassle getting it back on. So now I just take the lower great out and scoop out about 2/3 of the ashes leaving some there so that the next fire will have a residual bed. It's the same message you use when cleaning out a wood stove you don't want to take all the ashes because then there's nothing there for the next fire for the coals to nest.
