Congratulations on the new grill! You’re going to love it. Since you’ve used gas grills, having a KK is going to be a revelation. I’ve often said that using a KK grill is like having a charcoal grill that’s nearly as convenient as a gas grill.

I’ve had that burn-through thing happen, where the fire seems to leave a part of the charcoal basket alone, but that rarely happens. I haven’t identified any specific factor, but having chunks of lump that are too big seems to contribute to this. For building a low and slow fire, I try to distribute the bigger chunks across the basket, instead of having them all in one area.

Great first cook, and it looks like someone is getting the hang of this rather quickly!!
