During the Corn Processing Season \ at EASY DOES IT CHARCOAL FIRES Normal charcoal fires get red hot in the middle, while the outside is still black. So you have to stir the coals around, and hope the slow ones catch before the others are finshied. You can achieve quick, even heat with a simple-to-make charcoal chimney. Take a piece of screening, 18 by 11 inches, bend it into a cylinder 11 inches high, fold over the meeting edges and fasten them together with a riveting tool, sold at hardware stores in kit form. You fill this chimney with charcoal, squirt on the fire starter, ignite, and in a very short time the little chimney is filled with coals; being open on all sides, air is drawn in everywhere. Once it’s going, take a pair of pliers, lift up the screen "chimney”, and all those red hot embers will slump down into your charcoal bed, ready for business. American Fine; Foods, Inc.
