    I’d argue the meat cooked on charcoal smells better.

    Don’t hate me, because I won’t cook with it but as a kid everyone used lighter fluid at beach grilling and to this day I can smell it. It’s the happiness that goes with the event. I still won’t use lighter fluid though lol.

    I’ve seen a friend use the chimney starter method. Stuck some paper at the bottom. Filled with charcoal. Fluid. Lit. At some point dumped into a pile in the grill then grilled.

    I just don’t see how that’s any different than trying to start directly in the grill. I never could grasp how to grill anyways.

    Should I stack the charcoal in brick layer fashion or just let it be a chaotic pile in the grill?

    It should all be piled into one spot of the grill so that you have the hot or burner section and the low heat oven section. Correct?

    Then when do I close the lid to let heat build? How do people grill without ever closing the lid? I’ve also heard as soon you see a few flakes of white ash on the coal bricket edges, you’re ready to throw your meat on. None of this ever works for me. I’m clearly missing something.

    It’s always an eventful day. Always reminds me of the good times with my Dad.

    I had a bad experience with it. Some dipshit poured lighter fluid on the grill with food cooking “to speed it up”. Chemical pneumonia isn’t awesome (although, it would make a decent band name). It ruined it for me and I get nauseous at the smell of charcoal or lighter fluid. Wade can fuck right off for that. I loved using it before then and the smell would instantly make me hungry.

    Go Broncos! Too windy and late for my chicken today, hitting the propane for dinner!!! I love throwing a couple of pieces of wood on the coals for great flavor.

    In the beginning of the month I bought a Weber kettle original charcoal baskets, charcoal starter and a grill cover and a off brand vortex, I made a spatchcock chicken, pork tenderloin, steaks and hamburgers. As my family is eating the hamburgers I tell my wife I want to try a brisket, and she turns to me and says “can I be honest?, the truth is I don’t like the taste of charcoal” I decided to reply nonchalantly, “that’s ok maybe we can try lump charcoal” but I don’t think she will like that either, I was cooking on a propane grill before the Weber, I was thinking if she likes propane that much she should have married Hank Hill lol 😂

    propane “**Taste the meat, not the heat**,”

    This is the one issue I differ from Hank Hill on

    I would agree if it wasn’t for the existence of bacon and bread.

    Charcoaled mesquite wood is my go to, briquettes give off a weird smell to me.

  28. siltyloam_

  29. SnakeBlitzkin

    I love my Weber. I love charcoal. I love the smell of the smoke after the meat starts cooking. I love watching my 4 of 5 sons devour the food I make. I didn’t kno how to grill/smoke before joining these types of groups. I appreciate you all.

    Um, I’d rank women over charcoal, but close, very close
