I am also new to this KK thing and I can't get it blazing hot.
I've used a MAPP torch, blow dryer, and also Weber paraffin cubes.
As for fuel, I've used Fogo, Rockwood, and Dennis' coco char.
I've been dying to make pizza, but I can't really get it about 450.
Yes, I have cleared out the smalls, aligned the coco char to maximize airflow.
Help!
