A little help for a charcoal grilling newb, please.
First a little background and details. I've been gas grilling for about 10 years or so. Been getting more serious about my grilling for the last few years. Last summer, I was fortunate enough to get a OTG for free:becky:. I went through several months of using lighter fluid (sorry, I've since seen the error of my ways), but have switched to a Weber Chimney earlier this year.
At the moment, almost all my grill usage is fast and hot grilling. I've been using Kingsford charcoal lately, after discoving the generic cheap stuff in the grocery store sucks in many ways. But, even with the Kingsford, I'm noticing the next day when I clean my grill that anywhere from 12-20 coals are only semi-burned. Is this normal?
Possible relevant details: I'm not pouring the coals out of the chimney until I have some pretty good greying of the coals on top, I'm usually grilling with the vents wide open, and it's almost always pretty darn windy out here (no, I don't currently have any windbreak, but I'm working on it).
Thanks,
Rusty
