I've been trying multiple times and I keep failing miserably each time on both a 18" daisy wheel and a 22" otg. My general technique is to put up the snap in wire charcoal rails on each side. Then I take a small chimney full of kingsford and split it between each side. I push a couple wood chunks in.
Next I put about 12 coals in the chimney and light them with a cube. When they're hot I scatter half of them on each side of the grill. Today's result, and not an unusual one, is that with the otg one side of the grill was red hot glowing all the way to the bottom of the pile before the coals had even been on for an hour, the other side never caught and burned out.
When I use something like the ECB minion works fine for me, how am I messing it up this bad on the kettle? Am I just over firing it?
