New way to start natural coals........


Recommended Posts

So anyways this would revolutionize natural coals if this works but does anyone know if a coffee maker's heated plate could light natural coals (nours) ? THAT WOULD ROCK. Someone try it................but don't blame me if it melts ur coffee maker (I dont think it would).

That is actually a really good idea, but I am not sure that it would work. First, a stove top get MUCH hotter than the plate on a coffee maker. We don't boil coffee, right? Second, I think the plate on a lot of coffee makers actually shuts off after a few minutes once the coffee is brewed, and I am not sure that this would be enough time to get the coals going. This is probably a non-issue, as again I believe there is not enough heat to really fire up those coals.

I think it was scalliwag who mentioned putting his coals into a pot, covered it, and then waited for them to "cook" through until it got red. Has anyone else done this before? (Scalliwag, if I got your procedure down wrong, please correct me.)

Safer them inserting them into a rectum.I won't comment on your question, Nuschultz...my rape and murder lawyer would go into conniptions. Safer maybe, also, less damaging to the stoves with open coils...they tend to shatter from the extreme temperature stresses. Edit: the coil heating elements tend to shatter, not the stove itself.

With cast iron you can get them really hot since the lid is very heavy. The higher the temp the easier they light. When charcoal is made if you open the kiln to quick they will fire up and burn. I opened the kiln and pulled a few out and watched it for the heck of it. I just closed it back real quick so I would not lose the whole batch. They sure as hell caught fire on their own. This method with the pot is the exact same principal.

yup, we have a closed fire stuove thing at home with a window on front. if you get would down to embers in there, it just burns red coals for hours and hours, however, open the top for a few seconds and it all bursts into flames and probably burns a lot lot quicker.
