BBQ question to coal or not to coal

[DMan7]

DAMN! Allya rel prepared for your BBQ's boi. Maybe baking it might be the best option for me yes.

[*KRONIK*]

Avoid sookdeos coals realll inconsistent heat... Worst have ever used

I doh find so, i find they wukking good

[DMan7]

What about the Fire Dragon charcoal? Good or bad?

[alfa]

chimney still better because all the coals get lit from bottom up
other methods you lighting outside in so the inner ones don’t reach white hot same time so you get more coals which now start to burn and sooty
if you don’t mind that extra carbon taste and particles

Does the chimney work with our local hardwood coal? I could never get that to light without kerosene and blow dryer. But when it does light it's pretty good and long lasting

[pugboy]

depends on how properly the wood was converted to charcoal

fire dragon is guyanese, local guy imports and packages

Prob the batch my side have used 4 times and all was dying out... Went Chinese grocery and got a clear bag with no name and worked much better lol

There are also fire starters for those wanting a no brainer.

i have used that red dragon & rahamans guyanese charcoal since dise basically what easily available in d groceries besides kingford & to my feelings they blare up & burn up faster than local stuff but u can make it work by keeping a lil bit of water to tone it down when it flares up

1 time i tried d easy light series of kingsford briquettes & it really lights as easy as advertised when it new\fresh out of d bag , a simple match & it catches up easy, has some some sort of liquid fuel on it so obviously need to let that burn off before u put ur meats on d grill but by far easiest lighting coal i used

eating my last 3 piece of bbq from sunday as i typing here ... ... its still good

[pugboy]

i met the owner, he brings in bulk from guyana and sorts them out to repack
says them guyanese are scamps sometimes you get all dust

all the charcoal is from wood scraps from
camps in the forest when they chopping down trees en masse
like areas a good few miles square at a time

Allyuh ever try coconut charcoal or briquettes

[timelapse]

Allyuh ever try coconut charcoal or briquettes

Imo,it burns out too fast.I bbq with a mixture of charcoal and dried wood chunks from my jamoon tree.

[pugboy]

The manufactured ones get good reviews, made in india

Somebody should start a local factory
They mix the char with starch and extrude it it a tube shape

Allyuh ever try coconut charcoal or briquettes

Isnt that our M.O. in this country?

Buy and import everything,
Produce nothing,
Make life hard for any entrepreneur type activities

I'm looking into doing it locally. At the very least it would help clean up some of the coconut ppl dump as well as could provide some employment for a few people who I usually give odd jobs

Anyone ever tried to smoke meat with "DE HERBS"
Bob Marley style

[pugboy]

I looked at it, it is a worthwhile business, we have endless supply of coconuts being dumped all over the place
some have started trying converting the husk to cocopeat for hydroponics

the main challenge is in the burning/conversion to charcoal, locally it is done with ancient method of hole in ground
better to have a proper setup using lpg and drums or something

then you need one of those gear grinders and come up with a setup to make a starch slurry with cheap rice to bind the charcoal dust bits and then a mixer/extruder which you can get out of india.

coconut briquettes will outperform the hit and miss coals we get. they will also leave less ash and crap like the yankee briquettes
