How To Add Extra Charcoal To Grill

  • #three

Does anyone else add unlit charcoal as the first batch starts to burn down? I practice the minion method and seems that information technology's the same as not all are lit in the beginning anyway? I think if I added lot coals it would spike temps. Any aid would be appreciated.

I accept done information technology only when my food is wrapped in foil. Otherwise I showtime a chimney and add what ever I need and adjust my vents to maintain my bbq temp.

You can. If you lot add them directly over the called-for coals it might lower your temp. If you lot're just extending the serpent then information technology's not a problem.

If you lot practice need to add and only take the option of putting them on top of the called-for coals, I would calorie-free them first.

I have done this many times and I haven't seen any negative effects. I e'er push the remaining lit dress-down into a pile at ane side and add the unlit dress-down beside and partially over them, the same manner I started the burn originally. Note: I remove the top and center sections to practice this. I have never tried to add charcoal through the door.

Jumping in here with a related question--my last load of ribs used a bit of the dress-down. Other times, it used well-nigh half, on average. I retrieve I had them going for between 5-6 hours. If doing a large pork shoulder (>nine lbs.), allowing for one.v to two hours, I don't think my 18.5" WSM could last on a full load of dress-down, could it? I had planned on having to add coals and like mentioned above, I've always used the Minion method and never actually noticed an acrid smell with the unlit dress-down eventually lighting off.

I've non as yet needed to add charcoal. I load the chamber heavy so I feel confident it won't run out. Any unsed charcoal I set aside and apply for loftier estrus cooks like chicken or wings.

I started the shoulder final night around 10:15pm, nine pounds. 8am, the shoulder is at 180° (and so it appears we fabricated it through the stall). Grill surface temp was about 220° when I terminal checked at 2am (it held nicely there for 4 hours) but was at 270° when I checked it a few minutes agone. Started with a well packed ring of dress-down, 3 apple wood chunks, and a nearly total bowl of water. Hope at that place wasn't a huge burst, but I dubiety information technology. No wind to speak of. The coals still have some life in them, then if the temp keeps climbing in the shoulder, nosotros'll be good to go. I was expecting a much longer fume, though, at least 1.v hours per pound.

The bawl on this thing is a beauty right now. :D
