Question About Reusing Charcoal

[TonyUK]

After all the coal has gone cold and with gloves on, I just rub it between index finger and thumb until all the dust comes off. If anything remains it goes into the chimney.

This. But if I press it and it crumbles, it gets tossed.

Seems to me that such small pieces would choke down the chimney. I recall having that problem a time or two.

Yea, but I don't put em in the chimney, just rake off the ash, leave them in a pile on the grate and dump a lit chimney of fresh over them.

I see. That would work with a dual grate system.
