Heat Management Steps
- Start with 2 coals on opposite edges
- After 5 min, open vent halfway
- Rotate coals every 10-12 min for even heating
- Add a third coal briefly if flavor fades early
Monitor flavor balance — if Mojito disappears, heat may be too uneven (rotate coals). Keep temperature within comfortable range for smooth draws.
