New to using a charcoal grill here and I have a dumb question. If I grill, can I reuse the charcoal a time or two in the chimney starter? Also, what's the best way to get the charcoal out of the grill? A small garden shovel?

If I drink a bunch of water, then have to piss

Can I reuse the piss because it's mainly water?

You should just rent a grill from Placebeaux. Much simpler process.

you food wont taste as good, but as long as it gets hot enough to fully cook the meat, why not

turn it upside down. If this is cumbersome, use a large scooping tool.

Don't clean your grill, that's where the flavor is.

Just empty out the coals and put some new ones in. It's not like we're facing a global shortage on charcoal.

Uh, the charcoal burns up, you get ashes. There should be a vent somewhere to push the refuse out of the grill.

No need to complicate your life with a messy ol' grill. Get a microwave!
