A refresher on the number of hot spots and traveling

As you know by now, hot spots are an important part of using the kamado, so let’s review the basics. Sometimes individual hot spots are needed when grilling directly. A hot spot appears where you initially put a fire starter. You mostly grill directly over the hot spot, which can be a single spot or a triangle of three. If they are close enough to each other, everything put in between these patterns on the grid is considered grilling over a hot area. If the ingredient is not cooked fully after getting the right color, it then should be moved outside of this hotter area to cook more slowly.
