Post Oak and Fruit wood Logs are just too hard to find locally and amazon is crazy expensive. So i been using wood chunks when on sale. Only issue is half the bag is nice 3x3 chunks and the other half is 3x1 (if lucky). I have been trying to think of ways to prevent them from burning up too quickly, and i want clean smoke so soaking is not an option i would even consider. So far i thought of putting a 3 1/2" (non painted) screw through to make one 3x3 chunk, and also wrapping in steel wire to bind them. The screw in the middle imo might work till it burns to the middle, and the steel wire will probably not make any difference. Anyone come up with any other idea's for a clean slow burn?
Here's my screw idea:
