My wife and daughter were out of town all weekend and I really, really wanted a pineapple upside down cake. I love to cook and baking & I don't get along but I was desperate so I pulled up a recipe for a cast iron version. When the oven timer went off I opened the oven and it looked great, a nice lightly golden brown cake in the skillet. When I went to pull it out the center was like jello. I figured it was a gonner but I put a thermometer in it, set it for 210*F, draped foil over it and let it go. To my surprise, when it hit 210* it wasn't burned and tastes 64.5% better than it looks.
This may have already been mentioned here...my apologies if a repeat.
A while back one of the crew was asking for tips on getting a charcoal grill going quickly. A charcoal chimney is a great way.
If you want to accelerate it a bit more, put a paper towel roll through the center of the charcoal.
I can usually get a grill ready to go in about 10 minutes. Just about as fast as gas but it always taste much better!

A while back, I thought I smelled a gas leak in my house. I went all over the place looking for it, shut the furnace off, checked water heater, etc. I was panicking. Then I realized my neighbor was grilling and apparently used a whole freaking bottle of lighter fluid. That’s the fumes I was smelling. His food must have tasted like kerosene.
If you can’t start charcoal without lighter fluid, then you need to sell your charcoal grill and let your wife cook your steaks in hot dog water.

Delmonico’s (aka big fat Ribeyes) on the grill. Cooked med rare.
For charcoal, I use a chimney, with tumbleweed as a starter. No lighter fluid is needed, or ever used.
Me too. I mostly have used a sheet or two of news-print, but that stuff is getting rare these days.

I bought a huge box of 250 tumbleweeds on Amazon about 2 years ago. They never go bad. Put it under a chimney for high heat cooks, or right in the middle of a pile for slower cooks. Haven't needed lighter fluid yet. And I do save my used paper towel rolls to get the chimney going faster.
If you have or know anyone with a wood-shop, planer or routing shavings makes great fire starter for a Weber chimney. Wrap in one sheet of newsprint so it doesn’t fall through the grill grate.
does lump Charcaol light like Brickets ? and about the same length for up to heat?
I have yet to use Lump
I expect it would be similar.

The heat per volume is the same or close. It has been my experience that the lump does not hold heat as long because it was not compressed.
I have lots of down ash trees and have been making my own lump coals. Much cheaper than buying. When I have the Dutch oven out I still use the briquettes because I know how many to place under and over the oven.

I use lump exclusively. I think it takes slightly longer to get to temp, but not by much. It also leaves much less ash, and I don’t have to clean out my ashes as often. Also, when done with a cook, I just shut the vents and let the fire die out. When I go to light the grill again, there is some half used lump already in the basket that lights pretty quickly.

A little surf and turf for lunch. If you have never had baked potatoes on the grill, you’re missing out.

That is basically how I make my lump from wood. Get a nice fire going and drop the coals in a ash bucket and close it up. When the O2 is gone the fire is out and when it is all cool I screen out the ash and transfer to water resistant container (lidded trash can)
Well, tried it today....and it worked extremely well!
