That’s not a dumb question at all. That’s what this club is good at: Sharing information.
This cooked for a little less than 2 hours. I used half a chimney of unlit and poured a half a chimney of lit. I let the grill warm up to 300 and put the meat on. I then closed the bottom vent to 1/4 open with top wide open. This ran steady at 325-350 for the whole cook.

A good routine to get used too with or without the sns. I snuff the coals when finished, then next cook I give the coals a stir and light half a chimney and add to the unlit. It works for 90% of all the cooking I do. I like that your always working with a full bank of coals but your only firing up half a chimney which is twice as fast.
Obviously sometimes your adding more or less coals to start depending on how much coal you burned up previously but it just works out that most cooks are completed using half a chimney worth of fuel.
The meatloaf looks amazing!
