	If you have little timers running, you can set them to 1 minute 46 seconds. This is the amount of time from when you add cc till when it needs to be added again to prevent it from cooling off. It's actually about 1 minute 49 seconds but this allows for a small amount of server-lag and so on. So during the maintenance mode, add 2 cc then wait 1min 46secs and add 2 cc. Rinse and repeat until the heat level is up around 2200 and then pause/reset your timer and allow the bench to cool to around 1700. Then start the adding of cc every 1min 46secs again. It's best to have a separate timer running for each bench as they are of course different and because you may add cc at different points and get out of synch of a single timer.

		+	I have found that at 1m 45s is when the temperature drops (from the last time you click Add 2CC). I find that setting [[ATITD Timer]] to 1m 40s (Real time, not Teppy) is perfect. Add 2CC, hit Start on Timer, keep repeating. The timer method is great, its very predictable and gives you time to make a quick sandwich or pour another glass of beer! I have never got a spike nor missed and got a temperature drop using 1m 40s ~ Cegaiel

-A player should also pay close attention to the '''Heat Steps''' that occur to make the '''Heat Value'''. Each bench can have a various number of '''Heat Steps''' (approx 6-8?, need more testing). The sum of these is the '''Heat value'''. These steps are a crucial part in calculating spikes. Currently, testing has only been done for a 1 tick overlap of charcoal additions. The best I can tell, the spikes (which are 8*DV) occur 1 ticks after the last heat step of the extra charcoal . The table below should explain things. As you can see, my DV is 143, my HV is 54, with steps of 6,7,7,7,6,7,7,7. The * represents charcoal being added. As you can see they are staggered by one tick. The sum of each step is added together until 1 tick after the last heat step for the added charcoal, and then 8*DV is added to the remaining steps (in a 1 charcoal overlap there are no steps left)
