Cheers. I experimented a bit at the weekend with putting fresh coals on and also getting some going in a chimney and adding those. Chimney option worked better but required more forethought and also isn't ideal when there are small children around. I was pondering on getting one of these to kickstart the fresh ones that I put onto the barbecue but don't really know how well they work https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Q76K2QJ/?psc=1
Did a butterflied lamb leg at the weekend, very easy to do, looks impressive and you end up with loads of great meat plus the usual burgers, sausages, etc
Also had a vegan at the barbecue so ended up using two barbecues and having to think up some vegan stuff which was a bit of a challenge.
The hot air things work well but take a few mins and blow sparks / ash everywhere - better for getting a cold BBQ started more than getting additional coals hot, I’d say.
I would be surprised if there is a better option than a chimney TBH
