The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

$50 grill, are you buying used? About the only new thing I see in that price is a Weber Smokey Joe, which is probably not most people's ideal grill for most things. What model you got?
Two-zone grilling follows a philosophy of having a hot spot and a cold spot so that you have indirect cooking and direct cooking. Sear and then move over. You don't do that?
I have no idea. It's red, it's from home depot's clearance sale in the fall three years ago, and it's got a picture of a Kangaroo somewhere in the logo. Tbf, the price quoted is based on having purchased them A) years ago and B) on Clearance in the fall. The thing about Charcoal grills is that the cheap ones work just fine. Unless you're getting something like a big green egg or a pizza oven, all you need is a piece of tin that holds the charcoal and the rest is details.
There's a difference between intentionally having evenly burning areas at different temperatures, and unintentionally having cold spots where you don't want them. If you're trying to have different areas of the grill at different temps, you need to be even more careful to make sure you have each "zone" burning evenly.
