No matter how careful you are, there will be uneven spots in the heat,
leading to uneven heat in the oven. Turn the oven about 1/3 every 15-20
minutes, and turn the lid at the same time, at least if you are using heat
on the top. Don't put coals directly in the center of the lid because
you'll create a hot spot that won't move when you turn it.
