    Run a ring of coals around the edge, about 3-4 coals deep. Don’t connect the ring. You want it to burn in one direction. Add more coals to the unburned end to extend the amount of time in the grill. Control your heat with the vents. The only "gotcha is that you need to make sure your bottom vents don’t get clogged with ash that way you don’t choke the coals.

      I see, that makes sense! Thanks for the detail. I’ve got a big BBQ weekend coming up in a few weeks, think it’s a good technique for rib slabs?

        Oh, hell yes. However, you do have to be diligent. I also got a cool little box that you can fill with your favorite wood chips that you either put above the heat or into the coals. It’ll make the wood chips smoke without outright burning them.

        Who needs an Egg or a Traeger?! Weber kettles are the shit.
