BBQ question to coal or not to coal

[RASC]

Funny...

So why is it that 100% of all international competitions , COALS are the choice of the puriest?

[DrunkenMaster16]

yes but coals take some time to light

especialy the kingsford and even when u use lighter fluid u need for all the coals to light and burn off the fluid before cooking

1 bag of instant light coals, 40 - 50$
8 - 15 of the coals to get things started
1 bag of el classic hard to light coals 20$
once the instant light are lit and hot put el classic coals ontop and fan till they get hot.

Wunderbar!

same goes for charcoal when using good ole pitchoil etc

otherwise your first batch of meat has the lighter fluid/kerosene flavor in it

by that time its already an hour gone by

refer to my comment above. 30 - 40 mins = ready to go! if the grill size is larger use more instant light coals to get things started. Simple, effective, works everytime.... unless its raining.

Where you get that Kingsford to buy ? And what price for 20lb bag ?
Natural does taste better but kingsford good for long cooks over 10 hours.

the best and fastest way to light up a put for me is..usin some wood chippings about 8"long..stack them up..use ah styrotex cup..light the cup and let it fall onto the chippings...in a matter of 3-5mins the stack of wood lights...then put the big pieces of coals to light....and in 10mins pit is done...
i actually win ah case of beers friday betting someone i couldnt light the pit wit one grain of match...the styrotex cup and the wood chippings

some one told me they made their own coals wit "lampost wood"...that t$TEC leave in front the road
they bore some holes in on the first rim(bottom) of a barrel...put like something to hold the chunks of wood...light it up and cover it

[aR&D]

hot tomatoes choka
Hot eddoes choka
hot sada roti

Coals if you wah BBQ
if your not using Coals, is Grill Meat....
BBQ can never be Grill....

and know it have some ppl who does add bbq source to grill and bake oven meat and call it bbq...
NO

how i light my Coals...
get some wood chippings, heap it on top some newspapers, add some drops of kerosene, light it and add the coal, fan, and spread.

[cornfused]

coals and newspaper thats it ,meat and sauce drippings only help

[X_Factor]

[SR]

yeah but it hada be halaal

[X_Factor]

^^
was in pricemart earlier and i saw they hav some nice steaks for bbq
price range from 50-70$
they had a nice slab of meat..about 9-10inches x 6 by about 2 inches thick..it looked nice

pitty i doh eat beef

[pugboy]

beef brisket is a somewhat technical piece of meat,
it is normally smoked for 10+ hours because it is the toughest cut of beef
it is the chest/pec muscle, but the toughest cuts normally have the best taste
only after it reaches a certain temp it breaks down and becomes very tender but can also become quite dry if overcooked

unfortunately you won't get a local cut of beef brisket because the local cut would be too tough and its normally cut to minced meat anyway

I get them in malabar farms in bournes road, its actually the cheapest cut of usda beef, but this would not be halaal

[X_Factor]

the pieces i saw in pricemart looked like jus raw flesh they cut up and packaged
