I have just completed my first smoke on my new 18.5 WSM (that is another discussion topic). I added charcoal during the smoke by tossing unlit coals through the door. Most made it to the charcoal ring; some fell to the bottom. I have read where people add lit coals to the smoker; I couldn't toss them in hot.
What's tha best way to add charcoal? Remove the middle section (a lot of heat loss)?
I have considered getting a piece of metal duct, about 5" diameter and use it as a chute to direct charcoals, lit or unlit, through the door to the fire ring.
Your thoughts please.
