I never fiddle with the bottom vent. If I am doing a shorter cook, less than two hours, I will occasionally use less coals in the main basket, but I always light 40 coals. Now that my PBC has the appropriate layer of "gunk" around the lid, it seals nicely and my cooks usually hover around 300 degrees. They do creep up, but then if they are getting to 325 I'll plug two of the rebar holes and it'll drop down to 300.
Something that still perplexes me is that I've discovered I need to use two weber cubes to light the PBC chimney to get the entire thing fully lit in the requisite 12 minutes.
And yes, I had something fall of my hooks in my very first cook. Switched to double/daisy-chaining hooks whenever I hang.
