A propane grill is fast & convenient, but can we light a charcoal grill fast enough for mid week cooks? To find out I put one of the least expensive (fire starters) against one of the most expensive (GrillBlazer Grill Gun) head to head in a timed race to see how long it takes to get to a stable 400f cooking temp.

@coachcpمنذ 2 سنوات Until this summer I did the fire starters. I now use the grill gun. That said, the trick I did for the starters that was different here is leave the dome id="hidden13" class="buttons"> open for about 5-10 min when the starter first lights and carefully place charcoal on and around it without cutting off oxygen. That helped me cut down the time on getting more charcoal lit. While the dome wasnt heat soaking, I felt it caught up faster later bc the charcoal was lit when I did shut it. I'd say itd take me about 25 minutes, maybe a little more or a little less.
That said, the grill gun is faster and more fun. But I'd use the starter in a pinch no problem. ....وسعت 4

@TheGreatSantini500منذ 2 سنوات I have a BGE since 2013. I use a "only fire Charcoal Ash Basket, Stainless Steel Charcoal Holder with Handles" from AMZ (excellent - super heavy duty). I arrange 3 or 4 Rutland fire starters on the grate, light them, and place the basket on top of the lit starters. It gets things going v quickly. The basket is awesome, just shake it out over the trash before using the next time. Cuts way down on back having to clean out ash etc. I use an Iwatani Chef torch to light the starters, which is plenty for searing when sous viding. I like this method better than blasting the lump with my Benzomatic weed torch or my heat gun, both of which I've done. The double pack of Rutlands on AMZ is $39 for 144 of them. I think they are the best starters. I use Thermoworks products / pends and their dual probe unit -- all excellent. ....وسعت

I couldn’t justify the price here in Australia - my 6yr old Weber q3200 gasser is up over 400F easily in under 10 - though if doing a proper cook will use my SmokeFire instead so no starter needed. It’s pretty quick too. Of course that doesn’t need help as it has a good blower to get the pellets burning hot pretty quickly
Did have a kettle and WSM for a while, so am aware of how sometimes there’s a bit of a wait - but pain from old sporting injuries ruled out continued use of those which fortunately the WSF doesn’t inflict (no leaning over adjusting vents etc) but still get a decent smoke flavouring from
