Beginners Guide to Using a Charcoal Grill

Food

Starting out on a charcoal grill can be a steep learning curve if you are starting from an easy to control gas grill. You have to master lighting charcoal, how to lay out your coals, and vent settings. That can be pretty intimidating for beginners starting out on their first cook on a weber kettle or other charcoal grill. Here is the ultimate beginners guide that will get you grilling on your new charcoal grill in no time. All of these should be available locally, but I've included links here in case they are helpful: Weber Master Touch 22": https://amzn.to/3yNat7o Charcoal Chimney : https://amzn.to/3vxFcDz Grill Brush: https://amzn.to/3wGsZMW Inexpensive instant read thermometer: https://amzn.to/3wGdmVO Equipment I use to make the videos: https://www.amazon.com/shop/grilltopexperience?listId=3GSM4MV4SZC95&ref=idea_share_inf As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Been hiking since forever never learned to grill anything.(here grilling stuff is not a thing.) Only use gas stove. Now a friend invited me to “car camping” with bbq. U saved me
