I use charcoal whenever I have the time, am wiling to put forth the effort, and am not worried about precise temp controls. I've been a Weber Gasser for years and know my way around them quite well. I just started with charcoal earlier this year and am still learning the ins and outs of it i.e. how many coals to load, how/where to position them for direct or indirect cooks, how many lit coals to use, those kinds of things.
Don't worry about any of that Dave, just bank a chimney on a side of the kettle & work with that. Charcoal is so forgiving.
