So i have a chargriller pro with side fire box.i
I use a charcoal basket thats about as big as i can fit in it i belive 12×12×12 or close to it. So today i notice when my charcoal burns funny to me. I start a small amount in a starter then i poured them in the back corner if basket opposite of the firebox intake and it burns down to bottom of basket then across the bottom. When it does this my minon method dont last long because all charcoal gets let pretty quick and i like to add wood chunks every 1hr but i cant because it will cause to much white smoke. I even tryed heating the wood first but i cant figuer out were to put it in the firebox seems like all the air is under the basket. I been smoking for a while and i can hold temps around 250 for about 6-12hrs but i just cant add wood or it will smoke bad. I know i can put wood in the basket when i fill up basket but the way its burning i get a whole lot of white smoke because the minon method burns from bottom up even thow i start it in the top corner.any idea how to get it to burn top down.like i see most people's do.
