Marinated chicken chunks all night. Did you use Schwartz's recipe? Let me know how it turns out.
I did a squirt of Jerk, Hot Thai Sauce, Garlic Terriaki, liquid smoke, olive oil. Dry ingredients were chopped Jalapenos from my garden, brown sugar, Sprigs of rosemary from my garden.
Put it all in a tupper ware container and flipped over every once in a while. About to start the coals.
Will throw on a bunch of Japs to make Chipolte for future dishes.

How do you gauge when it is time to take them out of the chimney?
As I said, I used to wait until the coals at the top of charcoal chimney were almost completely white. But when I'd dump them in the pit for cooking, the briquettes that had been on the bottom were about 1/2 of their original size. Now I watch the chimney and when the corners or side edges of the top layers of briquettes turn white, then I put them in the pit.
It'll be too hot to cook right then, but within a few minutes, all of the charcoal is white and ready to cook. Should be enough for most cooking, but might add charcoal later if I'm really slow cooking something.

Ah, that might be part of the problem as well. How do you gauge when it is time to take them out of the chimney?
I can't understand the need for those chimmneys in the first place. Pile them up, squirt lighter fluid, lite. After they start getting white, shake/spread.
