Man, the Char-Griller grill I bought from HEB for 99 bucks is proving to be a useful grill. With one chimney of charcoal spread across the charcoal grate in one end of the grill, I have room to lay out three un-cut racks of babybacks on the other end and cook them indirect. I can easily get to them (while standing up straight and simply lifting the lid)for basting, turning, and rotating them throughout the three and a half hours it takes to get them done and tender. (My basting is in the form of a spray bottle filled with a mixture of 1/2 beer and 1/2 apple juice.) Cooked three racks yesterday for dinner and everyone loved them.
For lunch I cooked hamburgers. Again, there was ample grate space to cook the patties and warm the buns with the same setup, i.e. a chimney of coals spread on one end of the cooker (coals covered about half the length of the charcoal grate) and no coals on the other end, allowing a cool area for holding cooked patties and for warming buns. When the patties were done and slices of cheese had melted on them, I moved them to the cool area of the grate and started moving the buns from the cool area where they had been warming to directly over the coals for quick grill marks. Can't leave them more than a few seconds or they will burn, so I had to grill-mark just a few at the time. It's hard to find anyone that doesn't like home-grilled burgers and home-grilled babybacks if you have a grill that does a good job and learn how to use it. Walla.
