How Much Charcoal to Use When Grilling
Jamie Purviance, author and
grillmaster, dispels a common grilling myth: You don’t choose how much charcoal to use based on how much food you’re cooking. Instead, you should fill your grill two-thirds of the way with
briquettes, regardless of the grill’s size.
Jamie, who is a grilling authority, also represents the Weber brand. He was not paid, nor did Weber in any way compensate CHOW, for his participation in this video. We just thought he knew his stuff.
