Why does charcoal bbq lose all heat when coals spread out?
I have a 14″ charcoal BBQ that is prefect for two people. I use the kingsford match light charcoal which lights up perfectly with ease. I put about 17 coals in a 3-4 tier pyramid and after about 15-20 minutes the coals are blazing hot, all white and red where hottest. So as the instructions say, I am then supposed to take tongs and spread the coals out evenly. When I do this, I feel like my hands are melting because the coals are soooo hot. But when I put the food on (chicken, burgers, etc..) within like 5 minutes the coals loose most of their heat. I mean its still kind of hot but not hot enough to sear or barely cook anything. I’d say it looses 80% of that original heat. My question is….what am I doing wrong? Am I not supposed to spread the charcoals out? Am I spreading them out too early, even though they are blazing hot? Am I not supposed to put the cover on when cooking?
It seriously makes no sense and I have no clue what to change. Thanks for any help.
