If your set up has good draft, nut should work. If the draft is not so strong try stove size.

Nut works very well in mine. I do however, like mixing in some stove size too. The only way to tell is to try some of both and see what you think. There are no steadfast rules. Have fun!

As long as your stove is sealed well and you can control your airflow, then your grates will tell you what they like. Nut would be the smallest I'd recommend and stove is awesome because in indirect mode you can still get airflow up through the firepot. If your firepot is narrow and wide it won't make a difference, but if it's deep then stove tends to work better. The burn times will be the same because you control the amount of air intake.
