First, distribute the briquettes or charcoal evenly in the firebowl. It’s important to ensure that there are no gaps. You can alternatively pile up the charcoal or briquettes in the middle of the cooking grate and then place the food to be barbecued directly over the charcoal.

The two-shelf configuration is a major plus in my book. Not only does it provide more space overall, it allows you to put any dirty utensils on one side and a clean platter on the other. That means you can spend less time running in and out of the house and more time at the grill. Maneuverability Both gas and charcoal modes cooked excellently, but you get different flavor profiles and cooking experiences depending on which you opt for. If you want to put on a last minute BBQ dinner, just firing up the gas mode takes minutes, and for preserving fuel and achieving that authentic summer alfresco dining experience, the charcoal really is first in class.
