**** from Rainy Seattle. I have to work today so no time to smoke so I thought I would do some burgers using the WSM as a grill. The problem is I have no idea how much charcoal I should use. I am having friends over so I will be grilling about 20 burgers. Thanks in =advance for your help and Happy Labor Day.
Grilling burgers on my 22" WSM, How much coal?

50 briqs is only 1/2 a Weber chimney of briqs, as a full Weber chimney holds 100 briqs or about 6 lbs.
I think he will need more than that for the 22". When I grill on my 18" WSM, I use about a 1/3 full ring of lump. I grill on the lower grate, no water pan in. I leave the lid hang off by about a 1/4" to get the temp up, and to get the grate good and hot. It's about a 15-20 min preheat. HTH

I did all of my smoking on Thursday for a work lunch, two pork butts and a brisket, turned out fantastic.
Spent today making my first ever batch of homebrew.
