Anyone have pictures of what the wood should look like after a smoke? I generally spread 3 pieces evenly the length of the firebox........1 at the front, 1 in the middle and 1 at the back.
I have done smokes where all 3 were nothing but ash, which makes me think they caught on fire and burned up. Other times, I've had one ashy and the others just charred black like charcoal.
