At about 315 now.  I put one cap on.
 
How hot does it need to be to sear?
 
With one cap on it dropped to 275 so I took it off.
 
You can literally go from smoking at 225 to searing in minutes!!! ... Especially using lump. Lump is my go to for the drum 90% of the time.

I've thought about putting wood chunks in a sealed metal container and putting it on my bottom rack of my UDS that is right above the basket. .. It would be a slow process but it would make lump after a few cooks. I'd like to make some on a larger scale but it's tough in the city

I have 1 30 gal barrel.  set it on a cender block. I fill it up with cut up pieces, Then take a 55 gal barrel with a bunck of holes near the bottom. But all the way around the 55 gal drum. Put it upside down over the 30 gal drum. Then flip them over without geiing anything between them, Now the 30 gal is inside the 55 gal with the 30 upside down. Pack the remander of the 55 gal full of scrap. trigs limps boards. the fuller the better. Take the removeable top from the 55 gal and cut a roundish hole in the middle and attach a piece of 6' stove pipe to it. Litte the 55 gal and attach the top. Plan on it burning for 20-24 hours. Wait for it to cool before you open it up. You will then have a bunch of lump ready to go.

Happy smoken.
