I was curious roughly how big a split should be? I read somewhere that someone uses them at roughly the size of a beer can in diameter. I would say the ones I used on my first smoke were probably double that size on average. They ranged from 1.5-2.5 times that size. I did have trouble with getting them to burn with my door closed at times. I was prewarming them as well. I am working with a loaded Wichita if that helps on the size of the firebox.
