Hobbs Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Try more holes, everywhere.. they don't need to be in any particular or astrological order.. just lots of holes around your bowl. Cut that large piece of coal in half and place your 3 coals in a triangle and rotate it about 45 degrees as necessary.Aside from that, experimentation.Edit: Also, the density that you pack your bowl will affect it's longevity.

shalowlow Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Coals in the middle is usually a pretty bad idea and leads to burning. Leave your coals along the edges. If you don't get as much smoke as you'd like, add another coal, but again, along the edges and not in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplexCoda Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Im going to agree that a coal in the middle is prolly whats causing it. Also, again, try splitting up the bigger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
