Out of Charcoal?

You sure it isn’t B&B?? I remember somebody saying he was a member here.
That is what I’ve buying when I can find it. Bought the last bag that the Franklin supermarket had and haven’t seen any since. That was a couple weeks ago.

It is B&B, thanks.

What are the advantages of using charcoal for cooking? I frequently grill over a wood fire at the house. Seems to always be a steady supply of limbs blown down in the yard.

For me, it’s a flame vs coals.
When I use just wood, I have to let it burn down to coals or I end up burning some of the meat cause I can’t control the flames.
When I have just a bed of coals, I don’t really have to worry about flames unless I’m cooking burgers. Usually the grease coming off will cause a flame up. That, I can deal with.

That makes sense. Thanks

how did it turn out?

[sqiggy]

Well, for my first time, didn’t turn out to bad. Got a little over a 5 gallon bucket.


Some of the bigger pieces needed a little longer to burn. I’ll run them back thru on this next batch.

Not quite done!!

Need to get my hands on some mesquite wood too!! This is my favorite wood to grill with.

I have a bunch that you can come get. Most will need to be cut from the tree - dead limbs and a full tree, so you can wait until it cools off some before you come over. I'm in Branchville.

Did a tour at Jack Daniels and they make their own charcoal. If I remember correctly they used sugar maple that was soaked in their fresh, unaged distillate and lit on fire. I believe they only have to do it about once a month, and I was lucky enough (per the guide) that I got to witness the fire being put out. It would have been neat to see the fire at all, but even neater to see it extinguished with a big ol hose. The guy who did it at that time had been there for a while and could do it by "feel".
