ISO: Fondue Main Course!?

I recently received a fondue pot as a gift. I have been to nice Fondue Restaurants, so I know how good it is. It seems to me that the first course is a cheese fondue with bread/fruit to dip into it. The Main Course seems to use the fondue pot as an oil-holder in which a sterno burner heats the oil and you set chunks of meat in it until cooked. Then you dip the cooked meat chunks in a variety of sauces. The third course is the chocolate fondue as a dessert.

Before going to Fondue Restaurants, I thought Fondue was mainly a chocolate or a cheese dip. After experiencing what real fondue is, I think the chocolate and cheese fondues aren't close to as good as the Main Course cooked-meat/dipping fondue. And that's where my problem is. I have searched the internet for hours, and the only mention of fondue is Chocolate or Cheese! Has anyone ever had a real Fondue meal?

I wouldn't need to post this message if the fondue pot I received had one bit of instructions with it (no thanks to William Sonoma). I need to know what kind of oil to use. How much of it? Anything else with the oil? How long do I leave the meat in, etc.....????

Can anyone help me with this problem?

THANKS!
