I have a 15-year-old Weber One-Touch and I’m having trouble maintaining any sort of temperature, nor do I have a clue how to adjust it. Usually what I do is I fill the chimney starter up with hardwood charcoal, set it...

and the automatic ignition (I use a chimney starter which is very easy). The Weber kettle is great and I normally only have to replace the stainless steel grill every couple of years for about $20. Any opinions?

If you have a kettle type(Weber or green egg)charcoal grill with a chimney starter, build a fire in the starter and when it’s glowing set a cake or other smaller rack on top and sear the steaks for about 1 minuteoneach...

I only use hardwood charcoal, which definitely burns hotter and faster than briquets. I rarely need more than one load from the chimney starter, but if I know that I’m doing more, I’ll either start another batch in...
