Since i got the performer this summer, last weekend was the first time that i wanted to cook direct heat for many people and we had a lot of meat to cook.
I read in the manual that for direct heat, use 50 briquettes total so that is what i did.
But after they were lit, i put them in performer and they only covered about half the grill's bottom.
I had to light 50 more briquettes (total of 100) in order to cover the charcoal grate of performer properly for direct cooking.
Not sure why manual says only 50?
50 is a great # for indirect cooking but for direct, it is not enough.
