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.

I mean can I take the charcoal out of the grill and put them back in the starter to use again?

Ok, and what's the easiest way to get the charcoal out that hasn't burned to ash?

Its Sad if you call yourself a man and don't know that you can not reuse charcoal. Anyway, its a fossil fuel, thus you use it once and its over.

No you cant reuse it.

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.
