How many lbs of charcoal should I bring for cooking 3 meals (Hot dogs & tinfoil packets) for 4-5 people?

We’ll be camping in Juniper Springs, FL this weekend and using their on-site fire pits and not the upright grills. Our 3 evening meals will be hot dogs and tinfoil packets filled with potatoes, carrots and either beef or chicken.
I’ve always cooked on wood fire and gas camping stoves so I’ve got no clue how many pounds of charcoal to bring. Any estimates or ideas would be great! Thank you!

You would be fine with two of the smaller bags. Because they do have a 50 lb bag but you won’t need that much, so the two smaller bags should suffice

The fire pits require much more charcoal than the upright grills to cook a meal. The grill sits higher (farther from the coals) than on the upright. I carry one 10 pound bag for each meal, or, go to a picnic area in the park and use the upright grills for cooking.

If your going to have a wood fire anyway forget the charcoal it just adds weight to your camping supplies and wood fires will more then supply all the cooking needs you have. one bundle a night should suffice.
if you can’t have a wood fire then three small bags should do the job.
