Lignite, also known as brown coal. 2) mineral carbon: a.k.a. Anthracite Mercury is released from coal fires, and coal powered power plants are a major source of environmental mercury contamination. The amount that one inhales from a barbecue is probably negligible considering the amount of coal being burned, but I feel that I already have as much mercury in my body as I need. Now some may say that this is silly considering the other risks that come from barbecuing <http://environment.about.com/od/health/a/charcoal_grills.htm> but I say that some risk can't be avoided, and some can. The risk from eating food cooked over coal is one risk I find easy to avoid. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://www.democracynow.org/2010/6/2...al_crime_scene |

Too many people associate the taste of *lighter fluid* residue with grilled foods. Started properly, in a chimney starter with no lighter fluid, the Kingsford briquettes don't really impart any taste, they just provide a 1,200 degree heat source. |

It's definitely the Kingsford. Chimney starting > can certainly reduce the bad flavor, but it's mostly the taste of > Kingsford. Coal and those other chemicals produces tasty soot, > there's no disputing that. Perhaps the chimney thing is it, since I have used both lump and Kingsford and don't really detect a difference. I start a load of charcoal in a chimney starter (with leaf blower draft assistance) and when it's going good I add it to the firebox. One load is enough for grilling, and when smoking I don't want delays in getting temps rising once they start drifting down, so I use the same process and add the well started charcoal to the firebox. The leaf blower draft thing probably gets it so hot for a few minutes that anything funky burns off then, |
