Step 4Fire (Fahr, if you are from Missouri)
I had a buddy from Missouri who always said "Fahr" when he was probably meaning "Fire." I didn't hold it against him, but I also didn't understand him until he had said it at least twice. Never mind that... where were we?
Oh yeah. We need some fahrrr. Fill the charcoal chimney with charcoal, wad up some newspaper in the bottom, and light. When the top coals are starting to turn white and flames are licking the top, you're ready to pour. Dump them to one side of the grill, add the grate, and put the lid on. You will want to choke the air vents back to about 1/2 way. We are going to restrict the airflow to keep the grill at about 250F throughout cooking. A thermometer stuck in an air vent helps bunches with this.
Word of warning: Don't over-cool the grill, or you'll put the fire out. If it needs more air, open the lid and blow on the coals a bit. They will re-start shortly.
