Hi, I'm fairly new to the concept of having a smoke box, I'm used to indirect smoking on a grill w/chips & blocks. When I put this together over the weekend & smoked some pork, my firebox basically got too hot & the paint melted off, etc. I'm curious what a good amount of wood is to use on a firebox this size. I had 3 sticks of 16" wood in there & it seemed to burn way too hot. Should I take it down to 1 piece of wood & maybe accompany that w/a pound or 2 of charcoal for heat? The meat turned out good, but I know I can do better.
Thanks ya'll!
