Smoke pot blues

[Fire Art]

i don’t know if this is good or bad smoke pot isnt burning the wood. It’s 1 quart pot 3 1/8 inch holes in bottom setting in the middle of my fire in my Akorn this is the result of a 2 1/2 hr cook. I get blue smoke for like Ten minutes then little to nothing

Hmmm...
Definitely outside of my field of experience, but there are others, here, who I am certain can be of assistance...

It is alleged / purported to work, by highly reliable sources, so I'm rather curious to see what mighta happened...

(I only looked, on accounta ya said "Smoke Pot"...)

And I thought the title was a political slogan...

[Mr. Bones]

It Does have a RING to it...

I thought Willy Nelson song.

Have you tried without the lid?

[LA Pork Butt]

Did you drill the holes in the lid or the bottom? They are supposed to be in the bottom. If they are in the bottom, my one quart smoke works fine but the holes are closer together near the center. When I first drilled them the were too large and I drilled 4 instead of 3, so I plugged them with stainless steel nuts and bolts and redrilled three 1/8” holes.

Drilled in bottom

[LA Pork Butt]

My guess is that your holes are too close to the outside of the pot. Mine form a triangle within a 3” circle in the center. I start the fire in the center of the egg and put the pot on the fire when the egg reaches temp.

I would say you have to much open space in it try filling it up with chips or pellets

[FireMan]

My pot’s got a hole in it and I might............. oh, roof you say, never mind.

[EdF]

A bit smaller chunks might help too.
