New grill!

like slingah pointed out, you guys are missing out if you aren't using a chimney, and the weber is good one.

dump in your charcoal, lump or briquet, fill bottom with newspaper & light. come back in 20-30 mins and you have lit coals to dump. dump them, put the grill on, let it preheat for another 5 mins and you are in business.

gasser is still good for many purposes too. i use both, but i tend towards the kettle, especially if I have the time.

Love my Weber One Touch Gold. Carne asada tacos tonight.

Second (third?) the others- a chimney starter is an absolute must. Not sure what kind of charcoal you guys are using, but when I load up my chimney (the Weber one) with lump charcoal it's ready to go in about 5 minutes. Thing freekin' cranks. First time I used it I let it go for 10 minutes- came back to basically ash. I wonder if it's the charcoal...

Only complaint is that it's a bit small. Some reviews say it fills up a grill perfectly- I disagree- I need about two loads to have a mound of coals for proper searing (22.5"). Easily remedied by just tossing more charcoal on top of the lit pile, but I still want a bigger one
