I would like to start using charcoal brickettes in my Weber Genesis as indicated in my signature.
Should I put some sort of thick foil pan over the burners before I do this? If so, how does the flame of the burners start the coal to heat up?
Or should I just put the coals directly on the burners so they start up easier when I spark the burners?
Also- how do you clean the ashes? Can I use a shop-vac once they completely cool down? I really do not want to hose it down after use because I just installed new redwood on my deck and I think this would make too much of a mess.
I am looking forward to this because I am kinda’ missing the flavor that charcoal imparts. Sometime the gas grill is too “clean tasting.”
Let me know how best to do this
Thanks,
