Question about charcoal: Do you apply more fluid when you add more coals?

Don't use fluid. Get a chimney starter.

Is your wife home? Ask her

Use a charcoal chimney and never use fluid.

But if you use fluid, let it burn off as much as possible before grilling and then do not add more.

Note to self: never eat Tarik One’s BBQ

No, to start you should never go short on the coal, this isn't where you try and save money. Also get a chimney and don't use fluid, but if you do don't add it while cooking, you want all of it burned off before the food gets close.

Just chunk a whole can of gasoline on the already lit coals.

only if you want to have burns and blisters on your hands and face. if no flame is present in the coals the fluid will rapidly evaporate creating fumes and when it ignites it will do so in a big ball of fire.

I know this from first hand experience in my younger and dumber years LOL

Yes, but the key is to apply lighter fluid to everything. Coals, meat, vegetables, whatever. If there is any doubt if the fire is hot enough, just go ahead and marinate your meat in lighter fluid beforehand.
