A little green wood mixed in will slow the burn, just don't go overboard, and keep an eye on creosote buildup. Wood should be large enough to fill the firebox with 3-5 pieces. A good bed of coals built up before the final load is good too. What type of wood are you burning?Oak, hickory, and locust (among others) are good dense long burning woods.
