    Possibly, or you had the bottom vent too far open.

    Closed all bottom vents. Think I read that somewhere.

    Try again this afternoon, got plenty of wood and it's not windy, think I've got it right this time.

    Doing a chipotle chicken thigh dish, lamb koftes, burgers and hot dogs with mini bratwurst.

    Have to get some beers in.

    Been doing a bit of reading up on cooking or smoking with wood and they reckon you only get about an hour before the wood loses its heat!

    Sounds about right, he’s maybe waiting too long to cook on it, thinking it needs to be left as long as charcoal.

    Luv lighting the wood and then going to drink 4 cans of craft beer before sticking any grub on.

    So it worked yesterday, vents half open more wood, got a good burn going and did the quick thints like hot dogs for the kids. Then it was lid on and pork and chicken cooked for an hour and a half. Really nice does make a difference.

    I think I need to change it up though so that I use charcoal for the high heat before adding wood and doing the slow cook.

    I'm getting there slowly.
