I've got the slightly larger model
(4X10) with the heat shield on the back, as well as the smaller
one. As Lewis says, getting it lit properly is the key. Also make
sure you dump out the ashes before using it. Ashes underneath the
grate will prevent proper air flow. Once you get the fire going by
following Lewis' instructions, give it an up-and-down shake every
now and then to fluff the tinder. Once you get the hang of all
that, and if all goes well, you should be able to burn up all the
fuel in your smoker regardless of what model it is.
My smoker has a Bee Temperament Sensor that automatically puts the fire out right before my bees get really testy. I don't know how the sensor works or where it is located on the smoker, but try to get one that doesn't have this feature.
