The intake/exhaust settings mean very little if you can achieve quality smoke. Again, the LSG pits draft so well that even closing down the intake (to a point obviously) allows for a clean fire and reduces wood consumption compared to WFO. This assumes the pit is up to temp and ready to cook on.
I agree - with my OC I had to keep the door open basically or it would choke out. I think the firebox on my LSG is smaller than yours (maybe?) and I’m burning mini splits in it so hard to get much smaller than just adding one log at a time. The initial (big fire) picture I posted was for heating the pit up to start cooking so I start with a charcoal base and a log.
I’ll try and remember to get you some more definite times between adding fuel next cook. I was guesstimating this time but still think around an hour for one mini log sounds right.
All comes down to - more than one way to skin a cat - as my grandmother used to say
