Hi Brian,  
My experience is sooo similar to yours. But I live in a semiarid climate, Colorado’s front range.  
We don’t have burn bans here. So I guess we always have a burn ban. You may have heard of the Marshal fire.  
Anyway. I like to cut most of my wood for charcoal into small pieces. Then if I have any root balls or other stuff that is too hard to cut I surround them with the small pieces. I make sure that I have a good thick layer of small pieces on the bottom. I usually end up with 3-5lbs of uncooked wood from a 100lb batch.
