Additional Comments:

For more of a smoke flavor. Place chips between drip pan and cooking cylinder. Without lid on cylinder, light coals in lower charcoal ring.

Check cooking cylinder after about 15 minutes. When the chips begin to smoke, place filets on cooking grate.

Place lid on cooking cylinder and light the unlit coals in the upper charcoal ring. The filets will be done when the meat is flaky roughly 30 minutes.
