Question for any of you offset smokers that use burn barrels-do you have any tricks you use to keep from getting a lot of ash as you add the embers to the firebox? I started with a basket of unlit lump. As my apple began to burn I have been adding the embers to the basket. I just hate the ash the wood is generating and I seem to be smothering the fire in the box. Any suggestions?
