The denim burns longer than my other choice, pine needles, and gives off good
smoke. I usually throw a handful of green grass on top before closing it for
a cooling effect.
That's exactly what I use for smoker fuel. I cut mine up in approximately 4" strips across the legs & then cut once to make a long piece of material. I then roll them into a roll like a tootsie roll. I stand 3 or 4 up in the smaker. They seem to stay lit better this way because air can move through them. Without the grass on top, the smoke is a little too hot.
I also have found that sissle rope works great too, especially if it's been raining & everything is wet. I buy a big roll of it at Home Depot. I take a 3 lb. plastic coffee can, cut the hand holds out of it & the roll fits in it tight. This keeps it from unwinding on me. I pull the string out of the center & wrap it around my hive tool until I get the size ball I want to use & cut it. Works great. I still put somethind on top to assure a cool smoke.
It works for me. Just my 2 cent offering.
