Lighting the egg

I have a couple simple questions on lighting the egg (I have an XL) and can't seem to find them answered directly in prior threads. Probably user error on my part but here it goes: 1. I typically fill my egg with Lump and hit it with the loof lighter in two or three spots around the center to get it started. After I hit it with loof lighter should I leave the dome open for a while to get the fire burning? Typically I close the lid but leave the bottom vent open and leave the top cap off until I reach the temp I want then and fine tune. This process doesn't take more than about 10 mins if I am cooking between 300-400. Should I be letting the fire get more established before closing the lid? 2. When following the above process but cooking indirect, when should you insert the platesetter? From the get go or after the fire gets going? 3. When cooking pizza, when do u insert the platesetter and the stone? Feels like it takes forever to heat up with both in. 4. Finally, when adding wood chips or chunks with direct or indirect, when should I add them? Sorry for the long post but hopefully there are others that can benefit from the answers.
