Great advice. And I can taste that SLO TT now!
I'd also remember that you're flipping to cook the roast evenly as the Santa Maria pit does not have a lid - not because the heat is so intense that you're avoiding burnt meat.
To flip or not to flip often depends completely your cooker and desired results.
