    Glad to have you on the forum...

    The link above is a great visual to start with... when you start your fire, start it in one or two areas, and don't let it get going too long with top open. Once you see edges of the lump turning red, put the plate setter in, your drip pan on top of it (leave an air space under it), and your grid on top. Close the lid, leave the top vent off, and the bottom vent open all the way. Watch the dome temp climb till it reaches around 150, start closing it by 1/2 of the opening that is remaining. DON'T let it get over 200 before you put the daisy wheel on top.
    When looking at the post pictures above - look at how small the openings are on top and bottom for low and slow.... On your XL, that's a lot of ceramic to heat up and if it gets too hot, a lot to cool off.
    Once I get my Egg to 200 the adjustments I make are left alone for 15-20 minutes to give it time to adjust.
    Biggest newbie mistake is changing upper and lower settings every five minutes - you will chase temps till you go crazy!
    Hope this helps
