What I am thinking is it's an air flow issue.
If I just do a sponge or wet rag I am guessing the smoke will find a new exit or clog up the sponge quicker than I expect due to back pressure and smother my embers.

I am thinking about just going for it and doing it with an old stock pot and coke can stuffed with pecan chips. Shit aint hard if you don't have to hide the smoke
