Dome Temp / Grill Temp & Lighting Question

Posts: 20
I just received a BGE for a wedding gift and had a couple quick questions.
1st question
When lighting the charcoal for a long smoke (12-14 hours) what are some tips I should follow? How much to fill? Should I light only one side of the egg and let burn opposite way or just light in the middle?
2nd question
How fat off is the dome temp from the grill temp? If I want to smoke at around 230 where do I need to be at for dome temp?
Thanks
Comments
Long cook I fill to top of fire ring and light in the middle. If using smoke, mix chips throughout the lump.
I have found that the dome is around 20 degrees off. 250 dome is 230 grate--- approximately. The longer cooks it eventually evens out.
Good luck and take pictures.
