Hi all, I’m still very much new to grilling in a kamado. The main thing I have struggled with is the amount of fuel to use for a cook. This weekend, I want to use a half basket to do chicken shawarma on the Joetisserie as seen in this recipe/video: https://www.kamadojoe.com/blogs/recipes/chicken-shawarma
I was going to do about half the amount of chicken he does, since he uses the big Joe and I am using a classic, but either way it seems like it could take up to almost 3 hours or so.
After that, I wanted to switch to the standard grill grates to grill some kebabs and stuff, but am not sure if the half basket of charcoal will be enough to continue to grill after the rotisserie cook. Will I likely need to add more charcoal once that is done? Or should the half basket be enough if I remove the basket divider? Any advice would be very welcome.

Depending on how many kabobs remove the divider and add more fuel if necessary.
It is better to have too much fuel than having to add later.
