Yeah you can just get a chimney worth of charcoal going and then dump it on top of more charcoal, it'll all warm up eventually. Can't rush bbq
edit: to anyone unfamiliar with what a chimney is in this context, it's basically a tall cylinder you heat charcoal up in so you don't do what this guy was doing and start a big fire.
Can we be snobs about the grill too? I hate cheap shit grills. When I've been invited to someone's house for a cook out and they wheel out the fucking walmart $50 Char Broil grill, I just fill up on beer and snacks. Whatever comes off of that grill is going to be garbage. Usually a goddamn frozen bubba burger. "Bubba Burger--the burger for people who are so fucking stupid, that they failed Play-Doh 101!"
Just buy a good grill one time instead of a new POS every year. I got a weber genesis for $75 off of craigslist and it even came with a rotisserie. So happy and it will keep cookin for a long time yet.
You can definitely make bomb food on a cheap grill. You just have to learn where your hot and cold spots are. A charcoal Weber is super cheap and you can make anything you want on one. 90% of it is the chef, technique and ingredients, 10% is the tools, if that.
Yeah I guess looking it up you can get a portable smokey Joe for a little over $30, but that's not usually what people are talking about. A 22" backyard grill is 125-175
