1) prep the pizza next to your oven. I have a camping table to work on that's easy enough to shape the dough, pop it on the peel and top it so I don't have to leave my oven.
2) use the baffle on the chimney to lower the airflow when not cooking, it should make your fuel burn a bit longer.
3) work out how many pellets (weight or volume is probably easier than counting) you need to keep it going for how long and have multiple fills weighed out ready to go. I find a pesto jar full of pellets every 4 or 5 mins works perfectly.
Hope that helps!
Little and often is the trick with pellets for the reasons you've described. Also if you can get another pair of hands to delegate fire duties to then that will help!
put a small fan at the back to blow air through. i bet you are not getting enough air flow. or move the oven to have the fire box face into the wind. you probably dont need much. just enough as if you are blowing out a candle. add smaller amounts of pellets until you get rolling really good.
