What are you wanting to cook? Answers are going to vary based on that

But really, get one of these. "Hardest" part is heating the charcoal. This makes it impossible to mess up.

Looking to cook everything: steaks, burgers, sausage, and chicken but don't want to give myself food poisoning.
Sorry about the grilling/BBQ mix up guys

Soak the coals, let them sit for 10 min, hit them again and then light

return the charcoal grill and buy a ceramic grill (Big Green Egg, Primo, or Kamado Joe)

Lighter fluid is fine despite what some may tell you. However you have to let it cook off and let the charcoal cook down. When people say the food tastes like lighter fluid is because they spray an already going fire and throw food on it.

I haven’t grilled with charcoal in 10+ years baw. I don’t know the new trends
Posted on 6/27/19 at 11:22 am to Dr Greenthumb
As said, get a charcoal chimney. Lighter fluid is so useless with or without a chimney.

100%
And don’t buy the briquettes with the lighter fluid already in them

Alright baws, just bought my first charcoal grill. I've never grilled before and was never taught about BBQing.
I'd like tips on getting coals ready. I suck at this part. Do i need a little chimney (Coal starter)?

Got my answer. thanks for starting this, OP.
My dad never used a chimney but I can NOT reproduce his method of stacking coals in a corner and shite.

Yeah it sounds like OP is looking to just get into the hobby.
I bought an egg like 7 months ago and it’s been a rabbit hole I’ve gone down in terms of accessories and different kinds of cooks. They are a lot of fun, but if you’re a beginner it would be definite overkill.

Need? No, but it is the simplest way.

Use lump charcoal. Only put charcoal on half the grill, not on the whole thing. You want hot and cold sides. That’s about it really.
Edit: oh yeah use a charcoal chimney
