Kingsford Charcoal

[1911]

LAST EDITED ON Jun-21-15 AT 08:41AM (MST)[p]....anyone bust it out anymore or have we all become Hank Hill with propane and propane accessories? I bust out the Traeger pellet grill/smoker from time to time but it seems like charcoal is going the way of the Dodo bird. The smell of a good charcoal fire takes me back to a day when you commonly started it with a chimney and electric filiment more commonly than lighter/starter fluid.

We still use the chimney and charcoal. Its the only way my wife likes things grilled. No lighter fluid it leaves a nasty taste in the food.

I use a lot of the blue bag Kingsford in my homemade UDS.
No lighter fluid here....I prefer the propane weed burner to get things going.

I might start playing with the "lump charcoal" though to see if the taste of the final product/s is any different.

I've been using the Stubb's charcoal and really like it.
The only propane I use is in my Camp Chef Smoke Vault, man
I love that thing.

I guess it really depends what is on the menu. Chicken goes in the
Smoke vault, inexpensive steaks and burgers / brats gets charcoal,
High dollar steaks is 100% cast iron, high heat then in to the oven.

Honest to God truth.

My wife teaches at a small private school. From the opener till Thanksgiving
All the ducks go to the Thanksgiving feast at the school. The kids love it.
The breasts get wrapped in bacon and lightly seasoned with Phil Robertson
Cajun seasoning. Grilled just until the bacon is done, perfection every time. The
Rest of the year the birds are jerky.

A tip for you guys that still use charcoal. Instead of using the lighter fluid that does leave a bad after taste. Go down to the local hardware store and purchase a gallon of alcohol and use that. Burns off with no after taste.
I still use the chimney to ignite the charcoal. I wad up 3-4 paper towels and soak it with alcohol and place the chimney on the soaked towels and ignite. 15 minutes the charcoal is ready to go.

I have both. It has an offset firebox for indirect and wood chips box. I can cook superior to propane with it.

 

[RELH]

Bess, we reserve the use of kerosene for special occasions only. A house warming is one special occasion.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-22-15 AT 09:22AM (MST)[p]Charcoal in the little grill when horse camping, mesquite wood burned down to hot coals in the big grill at home.

I'm not sure what to make of this post. Is this a joke?

I think you all need to be educated on red oak wood...it's the only way to BBQ.

Charcoal? Lighter fluid? OMG people.

Wiszard, charred oak is for aging Kentucky bourbon, mesquite, hickory, apple wood is for the BBQ and smoker.

NM folks looks at like I'm crazy when I smother my meat in salsa,but wouldn't bat an eye at covering in green chile,LOL I have to order Pinquitos for the right beans besides great local Pintos.

I quit Kingford except in emergencies....real wood for real men!!!
