Wow

Lol, I actually like to stay outside for a while in the cold. I'm good down to about 10° F for a half hour or so.. Its's invigorating. My wife thinks I'm nuts because it's often in shorts and a t shirt and snow boots. Must be the Norwegian blood from mom.Wow
I'm impressed.
What were you cooking? And I have to assume you were not all sitting outdoors![]()
I usually buy lump charcoal. If using wood it makes a lot more ashes to deal with.Very seldom do I cook outdoors tho very fortunate to know many who do! Perhaps I should get into into it more. Im not crazy about fire watching and the fire residue clean up
We do have both a gas grill and charcoal. Also plenty of wood - apple and peach. Others mentioned cooking over charcoal - is that just by way of using wood and letting it burn down to coals like badjak or do people make charcoal ahead of time for later use?
Feel you on cleaning another thing, especially a grill to boot!Nothing beats the flavor of a steak or a burger done over charcoal.I've thought about adding a Big Green Egg in between our gas grill and smoker, but it's one more thing to clean and take care of.
I saw a show on the History channel about Kingsford and Ford, and how both saw that each other's products helped the other. Driving made people want to get outdoors and grill more, and charcoal grills made people drive more.I usually buy lump charcoal. If using wood it makes a lot more ashes to deal with.
There's a brand of charcoal, Kingsford, that had an interesting start. Mr. Kingsford was in cahoots with Henry Ford and they took the wood bits left over from making dashboards and what not at the Ford factory and started Kingsford charcoal.![]()
