Here's a good way to start: load charcoal into the firebox, light your all-natural firelighter and let it burn with the lid and both vents open for ten minutes. Then close the lid, leave the lower vent open about 2 inches and the top one two notches. Now just stand there and wait. Drink a few beers. After 30 minutes or so the temperature will have settled somewhere between 225 and 300 f. You can whatever temperature you get with those settings as your baseline and work from there.
