opps is right LOL

I only put the wood in the firebox about 10 mins before I need to add it, and my fire is small enough that I can keep it away

anyway, maybe I can help since I have a similar smoker

are you supplementing with charcoal? it really does help, when my coals get low I add a handful or 2 of briqs

I can usually go 45 mins to an hour before adding another more briqs

I took a bunch of pics of my fire for my last cook for a fellow who bought a pit like mine so I could help him out

here is a pic. its running at about 250 when I took this, you can see a few big chunks of lump I used also
