I tend to build a monster fire to start because I can always spread it out once the box gets to temp and I have an adjustable baffle between the firebox and cooking chamber so I can dial up/down temp fairly quick. It’s only taken me about 12 years to really feel like I know what I am doing with my current pit. Your pit has 3/8 in steel which is pretty thick, most pits use 3/8 or 1/2 on the firebox only and thinner steel on the cooking chamber so getting to temp might be a challenge especially if you’re used to the convenience of your electric smoker. I think you’ll find that you’ll tend to tinker with it and check/adjust it about every 45 mins to an hour. Those trips outside are brutal with the weather we have been experiencing.
