    Thanks everyone. Really good advice. This is what I’m talking about. Have a nice bed of coals, added two splits, they burn for about 10 minutes and then just smolder

    Sorry I was so vague. Just a standard 250 gallon traditional offset. I use seasoned oak. Just have a hard time getting a nice bed of hot red coals and keeping it that way. Seems like my wood will burn down about half way and then just kind of smolder
