    Coal Set up In offset smoker

    I haven't had any issues with not getting enough heat. This last go around, if anything, it stayed too hot for the first hour and a half. I was able to keep the temp more steady this lat time, but I was adding unlit coals about every 1.5 - 2 hours to stay ahead of it. How often do you add...

    Any Cigar Smokers?

    That's the way to go. I'm no aficionado by any stretch. The COTM club is awesome though. $20 a month and you get 4 smokes a month that are usually worth 30 to 35 bucks. Great way to try new ones. That's how I got in to smoking heavier bodied cigars.

    Coal Set up In offset smoker

    I don't have one of those boxes yet for the charcoal, so I built a pyramid and lit the top couple coals. Kept the smoke box vent mostly closed and temp got up to 300. Finally got down to 275 but took an hour. Maybe I put too much coal in to begin with?
