IDK where you plan on doing this
In the dorm.
use a deep metal bucket.
I was actually planning to use an old broken charcoal BBQ that I found in my backyard from a previous tenant. I already did the same thing for my new grates when I moved. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/i-moved
I hope UPS is not going to be jerks, and will deliver it even though I am not home. I should have ordered the charcoal from amazon also. Lemme see if they sell.
edit: I checked; the cheapest bag of charcoal sold by amazon was like 21 buck. I think I’ll just go to Canadian Tire.
