Refuelling Onto a Low Fire Bed
If the fire bed is not sufficient to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a bed of glowing
embers and ash such that the new fuel ignites in a reasonable period. If there
are too few embers in the fire bed, add kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading

overloading can cause excess smoke.
