i don't really know much about grilling, and thought the charcoal process would take a lot longer than 10-15 minutes

I pile a good bit up as much as I can and light them up. Try and stick the lighter inside the pile at the bottom and on the far side and light up as many as you can before the fire gets crazy. If you're using lighter fluid, which helps a shite ton, let em burn til the fluid smell burns off. The charcoals will start turning white after a few minutes of burning. Scrub your grill about now. If you want to do burgers a shite across the grill, spread the coals out and get the whole grill hot. When I do steaks, I like to leave em piled up and keep them off the fire and slow roll.

Sit back and drink some brewskies and enjoy the smell.

Get a charcoal grill. Yes it takes a little time to get coals ready but the flavor is not even close coming off a gas grill. I light my primos and have a drink while I prep food.
