Hi all, Do any of you Guys reuse the Charcoal from the Last Grilling. I save mine in a steel bucket and use them on the next BBQ grilling along with new Charcoal...
 
Use a chimney starter. Put 1/3 to 1/2 new bricks in bottom then top off with the used ones. Take one paper towel and roll it up like a hot dog. Stuff half of it in a bottle of cooking oil so it is well soaked. I turn the bottle upside down for about 5 seconds. Light the dry end of the paper towel and set your chimney over it. Your new and used coals will be 'white hot' in no time.
