Experience, and practice, took me quite a while to figure out. I have an older version, its an Okie Joe, I use nothing but Pecan, Hickory, and red oak, (black jack Oklahoma wood), and mesquite when I had access. Set the fire box and regulate with chimney flue. I would alway get a good fire and then use the coals then put a new log on when I thought the coals where going down. Again practice, practice and practice. It will cook very good steak on via indirect heat, but that needs very hot fire!!!!
