Heating up smoker

[Mindifismoke]

I have the Cheyenne smoker by Yoder smokers it is my first offset and I can't get the temperature up I started with a full chimney of charcoal let that heat up for a bit and then put a wood chunk. It's been an hour and getting a very thin blue smoke but the temperature is still only 160degrees, in that time I've added 3 more chunks of wood (about the size of one and a half baseball's each)
Left the door to the firebox way open

Any advice or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
