Not sure on the size, small trailer. Propane or combo unit.

Are you trying to heat that cooker with chunks or splits? If you are using chunks I hope you have a lot of them.
Just like any other cooker add fuel when needed and control your vents as needed.
Of wood is going to be your fuel source then plan to stay with the cooker for the entire cook.
