99% of the time I do this and it works great for me. Works best with baskets.
As soon as the cooking grate is clear of food I grab the charcoal baskets and give it a good shake and then dump the coals in the Smokey Joe Premium with the vents closed and seal it up with the lid holder bail.
Few mins later and they are stone cold.
Then next time: new coals in the rapid fire starter and used on top of new.
I do it this way for years and save a ton on charcoal because I fire up my Weber 8 out of 10 days.
I save on charcoal but I buy it like a doomsday preper? Still have 300lbs in the garage. Lol
