Hi Tom,
I am new to this, but I would like to share my experience. We recently
purchased the Weber Silver 22 1/2
charcoal grill. I read the instructions that came with the grill, and added
some extra charcoal briquets to my chimney. When the charcoal was ready I put
them into the Weber, and the thought that crossed my mind as I looked at how
much was there was- is that enough? It didn't look like enough. But we grilled
our Rib eye steaks and they came out great! I'm wondering, are you putting in
the amount they are suggesting or are you filling the charcoal grill?

Happy grilling

I'd suggest getting a Weber kettle grill. Preferably 22". These are just
super versatile units as you can grill, bake, roast and smoke with them.
They come with a couple of firebox dividers so you can keep the coals in
one or two areas for direct heat and use the rest of the space for
indirect. they also have good ventilation control and the kettle lid means
you can do all kinds of cooking other than grilling.

I'm roasting a 7lb rib joint of beef in mine for lunch tomorrow.

I just came home with the One Touch Gold 22 1/2 inch .
uses more coal then the smaller grill - duh.
with the smaller grill I was able to get away with about half of the small
bag.
this one took the whole bag.
too tell you the truth I have no idea how I am going to set it up for the
4th.
I never cooked for a party this big before.
I have nothing except the BBQ and a large pair of tongs.
will be cooking things like lamb chops and sausage and probably
a few burgers. I don't have a sink in the back yard so wondering how I am
going to keep raw meat off my hands as much as possible.
enjoy that rib my friend - sounds tasty.
Tom
