Required Items:
- Weber charcoal grill
- Grill brush
- Tongs
- Matches
- Charcoal briquettes
Set up your charcoal Weber grill. Put it in a convenient location close to the kitchen and out of the wind if possible. Remove the lid and take out the grill grate. Open vents in both the base and the lid.
Construct a pyramid shape out of charcoal briquettes to assure good lighting and even distribution of flames. Wad up a couple of sheets of newspaper into two balls and place them inside the grill. Layer briquettes over the newspaper building a pyramid shape. Sprinkle the charcoal with lighter fluid and toss in a lit match.
Place the lid on the burning charcoal and expect it to take about 30 minutes or a bit longer before the charcoal is ready to cook on. The briquettes are ready when the inside glows red and the outside has turned light gray.
Spread out the charcoal when the coals are ready and put the grill grate inside. Cover with the lid and heat for an additional 10 minutes.
Place the foods on a clean grate and begin cooking. Slow cook foods can be placed to the sides and use the center for thicker pieces or those you wish to sear quickly. Monitor cooking with an oven thermometer or built-in thermometers.
