    problem and possible solution

    Slightly dampened sand, not soaked in a liquid. Have you tried adjust your bottom vents, if you have any bottom vents, try adjusting them a little, but keep your top vent open.

    problem and possible solution

    Adding the drilled holes will help keep a more steady burn. If you use a good lump charcoal, you won't have much of an ash issue. Too much ash can starve off a burn, not allowing enough air for combustion. Always try to add hot water to the pan, cold water will bring the temp down, until the...

    I only use RO lump (USA), and these are the reasons. Very consistent burn, Little or no sparking, very little ash at the end of a burn. I combine RO with hardwood chunks for my smokes. I always find it at Wally World, and I buy 8-10 bags at a time It's all good my friend.

    GOSM Big Block

    The small amount of smoke that leaks out usually won't effect the end product. One exception to this is if you are smoking in a cold outdoor environment, then it's more of a heat leak than a smoke leak, It's all good my friend.
