    Keeping my wood from burning to quick?

    I use a charcoal basket in my offset it is made out of diamond cut steel 15" x 15" with a solid divider down the middle. I fill 1 side up with charcoal and mixed wood chunks then put a dozen lite briquets on the other it slowly ignites the other side. Maybe something like that would work ?
