A tiny ceremony

The four moves of a calmer cook.

Build

Choose fuel shape first: pile, bank, baskets, fuse, or full ceramic bed.

Light

Start less charcoal than ego demands. Add oxygen slowly.

Listen

Blue smoke is a whisper. White smoke is the fire complaining.

Record

Write vent positions, weather, fuel, and mistakes. Especially mistakes.

Pit oracle

Ask the fire.

Type what is happening in the pit. Get a practical first move instead of backyard mythology.

Oracle result

Ask about bitter smoke, dry meat, temp spikes, low heat, dirty smoke, or smoke quality.

Heat sketch

A reference burn curve, not a prophecy.

A simple visual reminder: ignition rises fast, clean heat stabilises, then fuel and airflow decide the falloff.
