Keeping the fire and smoke going.

[larrypj25]

What advice and techniques do you all have to keep a fire and smoke going?

Is this to answer for some issues you are having with your own smoker, or in general?

I run a WSM, I light a chimney full, load the bottom, dump it in, and I'm good for pretty much 15 hours.  Prety simple.

Now, if you are talking just a straight stick burner or a side firebox smoker, I can't help ya there!

We need more info to answer your question-

What are you using for fuel?

What do you have for a BBQ pit?

What is the method you are using to maintain a cooking fire?

It is a Brickmann barrel grill with an offset smoker fire box.
I am using wood charcoal from Whole Foods.
