maintaining smoke in MGS (XL)...mod picture included
yea, thos are all really good ideas...thank you. the way it is currently, i'll throw in one wood chunk and it gives off the perfect amount of smoke but lasts an hour. if i throw in 3 wood chunks, i'll have way too much smoke, bellowing white smoke, for about an hour. with that said, i think...- stroud
