Now I know why "they" said not to invite people over the first couple
of times! I thought we had mesquite briquette, but we had 2 bags of
lump. I've never - ever cooked with lump. Not using lighter fluid
wasn't the problem. The amount to use was. It took me two hours just
to figure out how to get my cooking chamber (the heat comes from
elsewhere) up to "temp". This meal is going to be finished off in the
oven tonight (thanks for the tip Cheri) and it will still be 9PM!
Live & learn.

Wishing myself better luck next time.
