Dude, use lump charcoal and a chimney. Never use Matchlight for smoking (or anything else).

I use a chimney for my match light because it will still have to burn down the chemicals.

Not really something I will have to worry about going forward seeing how I got a green egg, but valid point.

Matchlight burns the fastest of any charcoal, its crap really...then come natural briquettes, and the longest lasting is the lump charcoal.

Really....do tell!

 

 

Its pretty simple to do - I clear a lot of brush and trees around my place every year - a lot of the smaller oaks that are too small for firewood I cut into 3-4 inch long pieces and pack in a 55 gallon drum- I have a couple vents cut in the drum bottom and I put the steel drum top in place with the band and just leave the  bunghole open.  I support the drum on cinder blocks and pile the dry brush and branches around it - and light it up - I keep the fire going from 3-4 hours - once the contents of the drum gets up to temp you get a blowtorch effect from the bung hole as the volatile gasses that support combustion come off the wood, exit the drum, and ignite.  Once the torch effect goes out I usually keep burning for an hour or so then let the fire die down. Its a bit of a balancing act- if you cook too long you turn a lot of your charcoal into ash and if you dont cook long enough you have only partial charcoal which burns with too much flame in the grill.  Next day its usually cool enough to open the drum and pull out your charcoal - I get about 1/4 to 1/3 barrel of charcoal from a drum that is packed with oak chunks before cooking it.

 

If there is a way to post a pic directly from my puter I have a couple of pictures although I cant find the blowtorch one right now.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
