when it starts to get harsh, move the coals away from the center.Generally i use 2 japense coals and my wind-cover; when use the cover till it heats up too much, then move the coals around the edge, then put the cover back on.

Yeah, use a little less. Moving coals help, you can also break Japanese coals in half, if you're manly.

Haha, tangiers i use japanese coals in half regularly... oh, wait you mean halving the quarters of the stick. Yeah, that would take some work.:PMoving coals is usually the easiest way, sticking them on the outside of the bowl seems to work the best for me.

Definitely break up your coals and use half-square(?) pieces.
