Just switched from a vertical propane to a COS. I have an abundance of Oak on my property, and want to be an all wood smoker. Having trouble keeping a good fire going, kind of dies off. Been using smaller logs, under larger logs, then starting with a propane weed torch.
Saw some posts and videos where folks used charcoal as a base, then added there wood on top, and those seem to burn pretty well.
So my question is, is there many all wood smokers out there, or do most use charcoal and wood, or atleast charcoal as a good base for the wood fire? Maybe i just dont know how to start a good fire. Is all wood alot more work than charcoal, or charcoal/wood combination?
Love the taste of my oak, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
