I start the fire so it only goes one direction generaly. I just leave a space between the begining and the end, about 2". If the fire jumps to the other end I just get my tongs and move the hot coals to the other side,but its not usualy a problem because the one touch gives outstanding controll.

If I want to fast track and cook at 300* or so I will light both ends because it tends to overheat the meat on one side if I dont.

The pic with the fattys was from before I started using the 6" pieces around the outside and the charcoal would not burn thoroghly every time. With them in there occasionaly there will be a filbert sized chunk of lump charcoal or wood that dident burn all the way.

If I am in a hurry I light about 1/3 of a weber chimney of charcoal and dump it in then add the rest of the charcoal + chunks.
