You should not have to look after the smoker that much with charcoal. I can leave mine for 3-4 hours pretty easily.

Try using the Minion method: http://virtualweberbullet.com/fireup2.html

I add wood every 30 minutes to an hour....

Are you using chips or chunks? Chunks give a much longer smoldering time.
