Need advice: charcoal

So I have been getting into grilling a lot lately, but I am having issues with charcoal temperature. Unless my thermometer is broken on the grill, it never gets over 200 degrees. I have searched all over the internet for tips on how to get it hotter, and can't find shite. I am using about 20-25 briquettes I guess. Do I just need more?
TIA for any help...

1 what kind of grill?
2 if its only 200 degrees, how does it feel on your hand? you can usually tell if you're thermometer is off.

Try hardwood lump instead of briquets

A charcoal pit is a thing of beauty. Think of your cooking time as a delicate art of foreplay that leaves the ones you serve with a continuous tingling feeling to come back for more from your pit. Once you conquer the art of not only getting, but maintaining the warm temperature you desire to properly grill your meat, the world is your oyster.

Ditch the Matchlight bro. Lump is very nice. Make sure it's cleaned out good and gets plenty of oxygen. If the thermometer you are referring to is on the pit and not a good aftermarket digital, chances are really good that its reading wrong. I've heard they can be 50-75 deg's off straight out the box.
