Here is a tip I learned recently that has completely changed the quality of my smoke. Instead of burying a mess of wood in the coals, wrap a few chunks in foil and make a few slashes in the foil on all sides. What this does is it starves the wood of oxygen allowing it to smolder instead of burn. When your pit comes up to temp, throw your meat on and add a chuck of your foiled wood on top of the hot coals. Add the next one after a half hour or so and a third if needed. My wood usage has dropped dramatically and I get thin blue smoke every single time!
