Smoker fuel ?? your go too

[tandemrx]

only nice trick I learned from state inspector is to use wax paper as starter paper.  I always have some junk wax paper (from buying donuts at grocery store) that I just throw into my smoker bucket along with pine straw that I collect and keep in my bucket so I always have dry pine straw.

The bucket I have is about a 12 gallon steel (galvanized?) bucket with a fairly secure lid and a nice carrying handle.  I keep my pine straw and starter paper and maybe some dried twigs or other fuel in the bucket and just throw my smoker and lighter on top as well.  That way I always have dry fuel and when I am done and plug my smoker up with grass I can put the smoker right away into the bucket and put the top on. 

Smoker goes out quickly and no more smoke in truck or garage.
