Figuring out how much charcoal to use in a grill is one of the first steps to becoming a grill master! Luckily the process for figuring out how much you need is pretty easy!
Just because we have to start someplace I am going to make two assumptions:
- You are cooking on a 22 inch Weber charcoal grill
- You are using Kingsford briquettes
The 22 inch kettle and Kingsford charcoal are the most popular grills and charcoal brands out there.
If you are using something different then use this information as a guide and adjust accordingly.
The Basics of Grilling with Charcoal
The two factors we want to influence are:
- How hot do we want the grill to be?
- How long do we want the grill to be hot?
The temperature of your grill will be determined by how much charcoal you use and how much air is available to the charcoal.
In general, more fuel and more air creates a hotter grill.
How long the charcoal burns at the temperature you want will depend upon how the charcoal is arranged and lit.
Let’s look at some specific examples:
