Making charcoal in a 5 gal bucket. Small sticks come out good but chunks of 2-3 inches are not burned through. I let them cook till the smoke is gone and then I let the fire burn for a few minutes before flipping the bucket over. The chunks are char on the outside and wood in the center. Am I not letting them burn long enough...I was told that you should actually smoother it as soon as the smoke stops coming out. Or am I not useing a hot enough fire? I am useing a camp fire, not an inferno.
