Yeah, used one but didn't let the coals get white hot before I dumped them on the first load. The little tailgate grill I got didn't have holes ont he bottom to let the air flow from underneath so the heat I did have sputtered out. I started another chimney up and let it get hotter, but is was still too little too late. We had to scarf down the food in a hurry to get in to our seats for the game.
It was hot as hell in the chimney, and melted a circle in the asphalt of the parking lot. Next time I might bring an extra grate from my smoker, do the first chimney to get things going, and start a second right away, and then put the extra grate on the second chimney of coals when it is going good to get a really good sear on anything that could use it. The other grill will be great to cook things through and keep things warm, and the other will be perfect to get things done in a hurry.
