when in greece this spring i saw a bag of charcoal that said it was made
from olive pips. (yes, it was written in english). and i discovered that
another friend always saves their pips to throw on the coals when grilling.

so, i've been saving pips from kalamata olives but i don't want to have an
experiment go bad. anyone else use olive pips??

I have a student from Cyprus, and he was just telling me the other day
about the charcoal he gets in Cyprus, and it's made from olive pits
(pips, eh?). He says that it burns for a long time. I don't know
what sort of flavor it might impart to the meat.

Poor guy was reduced to using Kingsford here in NH.

Joe, I've never seen timidity in any of your prior posts. Make a hot lump
fire, pouch up some olive pits in alumifoil, toss 'em on the fire, shut the
lid and smell the smoke comin' out the stack. Issa good? Assa nice, trow
on a chicken. Issa no good? Ba fungool! Trow da sonamabitch out! Capeesh?

I did the same recently with cherry pits while I smoked a turkey
breast. Came out pretty nicely if I say so myself.
