To do longer smokes, you can simply refill the Smokin Wedgie. However, if it is very hot and you lack something to remove the lid, you could simply have two Smokin Wedgies so one is always smoking.Then the second one replaces the first one while the first one cools down. This way you have plenty of time to refill and handle the next wedgie allowing you to cycle two of them to any length of smoke you wish.
