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.
