Just light the coal in one spot, or if you use a chimney, light just a few coals. (I use an electric starter but anything will work. Just don't use lighter fluid!) This allows the fire to spread slowly and gives you a nice gradual start with loads of time to adjust.
Once the fire is for sure going, assemble your plate setter and grill, then close it all up but leave the vents wide open. Once it hits about 100, start closing the vents. For mine, 220F has the top and bottom vents open only a sliver, but this will depend on a variety of factors.
For me, electric charcoal starter works great.
This is the one I bought.
