Fire tips for a mason 2x3
I just finished bricking my new mason 2x3 over the weekend and plan to boil on Friday and Saturday.
I'm new to wood fired, as I have been using a turkey fryer for the last few years. I've learned from the threads so far that I need to try to consistently stoke the fire every 5-8 minutes. I've also read that my splits should be about the size of my wrist. If that is true, I have some splitting to do. My wood pile has a variety of wood in it. Will this pose a problem?
Any tips on starting the fire? Do I just make the fire on the grid or a larger area?
Thanks,

Some pictures of my bricking
I ended up building more of a ramp at the back and filling in the space below the chimney with insulation and bricks. I may chamfer the top row of bricks to allow more heat to the edge of the pan, but it seemed to work ok like this. Just needed to keep feeding it wood on a regular schedule (~every 5-6 minutes).
Enjoy,
Kyle
