Disagree. The heat tends to spike when the fire hits a piece of wood.

I use charcoal generally but have had no problem with my kamado Joe holding a temperature within 10 degrees of a set point for 3+ hours

You dont use wood in the Egg, you use charcoal, and not the petroleum infused stuff. Natural hardwood lump charcoal. You can smoke stuff for 6 hours not really touching it once it is dialed in.
