I will usually run a small to meduim fire, partly because I have a large pit, it's 6' long and 30" around so it takes a little more to keep going.
I have found that if I use about 5lbs of lump to start then trhow on some split, get it all up to temp, then with everyting running smooth I will add one large log of apple wood around 6-8" in diameter and 12" long let it run and then I will add smaller splits as needed until it's gone and repeat.
Woks well for me even on the coldest days.
