It's all in the charcoal and formation, TBear. Draft is essential to building a perfect charcoal fire. I don't even use lighter fluid to get my grill going. The fire takes longer to build that way, but the payoff is more than worth the time invested. The food tastes better and the fire lasts longer.

I do tend to cover the charcoal with fluid. I think I will try using less to get a lower temp and slower cook.

One thing I hate cooking on the grill is chicken, I refuse from doing it

after reading the above, i suggest you create that cooking thread...i'm gonna try these marinades when i get back from my trip


when i marinade, i lean heavily on soy sauce, limes and a lil bit of brown sugar...fairly basic but does the job

yeah my marinades are not quite as fancy but I do go with limes oranges soy sauce worcestershire sauce LOTS O GARLIC both fresh and ground with salt.....oh yeah and beer.....ever try carne asada marinated in beer and limon???

I agree, gas may be easier but charcoal make for better food/flavor.

How do you keep charcoal going for three hours though? I have a few things I cook for an hour but after that I have ashes.

I have this thing I don't know what is called but it's in shape of a cylinder with holes all around, thats where I put my Charcoal and let it burn for a while until ready then I throw it on the grill

It takes longer than gas but it's worth the wait, everybody that comes to my bbq's knows not to ask me When's the food ready or to touch my grill

just beer and lime?

yup....beer and lime..............mmmm.....mmmm........good.......

why is that?

It cooks too quick and it's uneven so you need to give it more attention so it don't burn

I'll hit you up with a PM or two detailing the exact measurements for the marinades.
