Was trying to cook breakfast on an improvised (read I built it) grill in
Lochloosa, Fl some time back. Not having much luck with temps and trying to
cook bacon. My friend Ed tipped the skillet and let the bacon grease pour
into the fire.

What a difference that makes.

Actually needed more ventilation in the cooker, but bacon grease is a
wonderful substitue.
