Hey there--

I would suggest trying to cook with a mixture of lump charcoal and wood in that cooker-- it will give you more burn time and aid with the fire control and maintaining a base of coals. Also, extend the stack down to the cooking grate in the main chamber with some aluminum flashing.

This link will lead you to a number of useful mods:

Hey Wi Doe,
Click on the file tab at the top of this this page and then click mods. Extreamly valuable info here and the advice is proven.

Wi Doe - your first mod should be a baffle to redirect the heat from the firebox. This will allow more even heating and that really hot spot by the opening will be usable again.

Hey Wi-Doe-Maker all this advise is very good. I made the stack mod and the baffel mod. It made a big difference I get about a 2 or 21/2 hr burn time before reloading once it's going good. I have other smoker but use my brinkmen all the time for test cooks.
