When doing reverse searing, how long does it take the coals to come up to two for the sear? Should I start a full basket for the cook?

I use ful baskets all the time...but I have a ton of experience on them it is about how many you light. ON the reverse sear it does not take more than about 5-7 minutes to get a good searing heat

Here to,always have a full basket. When u r done cooking,close all vents and it shuts down in know time.
