Place your open hand with the palm down about 3 inches above top of oven; count backward from 450 by 25 until it becomes uncomfortable to hold your hand in place. Count somewhat slowly, each count should be about a second. The number that you reached is the approximate temperature of the oven. I usually start with the three fewer briquettes than the size of the oven on the bottom and three more than the size on the top of the oven, which should result in an oven temperature of about 350?.
