My wife calls me "Teddy" and I call her "Princess" and that's where "mrteddyprincess" comes from.
I have a Lang 48" deluxe patio model. 1/4 inch steel. I have to add wood to the fire to maintain temps about every 45 minutes. One or two splits, depending on the size of the splits. I keep the vents wide open and cook to temp by building my fire size. I can do 250 F but she really likes to cook at 325 F. For that cooker, I see no advantage to "low and slow." Hot and fast tastes just as good. :-)

Well first off you need to tell us what pit you’re using or plan on using.
Every pit is different.
In my LSG, a 24â€X36†offset, as with most other high end pits you can expect to have to add a split or two every 30-45min or so. Give or take.

I agree totally. Nothing replaces learning your pit and becoming the master of it :-) That takes time and experience. Nothing can replace that.

Absolutely mrteddyprincess I guarantee you I run my pit totally different than the way you run yours.
It’s all about learning and knowing your own cooker.
To add to that. There really is no wrong way if you get the results you’re looking for.
I prefer and usually run temps in the mid 200*. But if 300+ works for you than that’s awesome. As long as you get the results you’re looking for. All is good. 👍👊

The PK360 likes to cook in the 250-275 F range. I can crank it up higher than that, but most of the time I'm cooking on it where you're cooking :-)
