Reply to "Getting wood to last"

It's all personal preference. Yes, the theory is the smoke will stop penetrating around 140 (I still haven't found proof) but the outside will ALWAYS continue to take on more. That's why people have creosote buildup from too much smoke.

You can always experiment. I don't recommend the 10 oz that Todd does for the average user on their first try. We get lots of "over smoked" comments from 3 or 4 oz, so if you go that route, just be careful. Start with 2, then 4, then 6, etc.

You can also add wood in during the smoke, just be careful that the firebox will be very hot.
