That doesn't mean airflow isn't important, it means your have different needs. You don't burn a small, clean fire without proper airflow. You don't pull the smoke and heat through the cook chamber without proper airflow.
I cooked on an OKJ Highland for a long time before upgrading to a better pit . Lack of airflow on that cooker (yes, I sealed it all up) was it's biggest problem, even more so than the thinner gauge steel.
