charcoal for smoke

well, since my friend smoke went eletric this last weekend i have to burn some coal for the both of us. like my charcoal / lump buddy we both like to use the chimney. something about the smell, the smoke or maybe just the killer food cooked w/ coal. and away we go......

no talkie.

catering thing on saturday.







who's dog is this? its to close to my tri tip. step away from the tri doggie.







my daughter, "can you cook bacon on that?". i can cook anything on a weber kettle.







coal for you smoke. time to get another bag. a good weekend.

Watch that dog! If he doesn't get that tri tip he will for sure be after that bacon!!

Do you have yourself a little catering trailer for all your goods?

BP just got a new trailer! Maybe he could design you one Sparky

That doggy got way too close!

Makes me want to get the Weber out this weekend and burn some charcoal myself!

Do love the smell of charcoal. How do those BD charcoal pellets smell and work???

I did not get a lot of smoke from them, but I did not expect it.

When you smoke with charcoal you have to add (wood) pellets or wood chunks, right?

I like the looks of your meat sparky..

But the charcoal itself does not provide smoke, right?

correct bent.

charcoal does provide smoke

If you want smoke flavor with charcoal, you need to add wood chunks or chips to charcoal. Straight charcoal doesn't get there for me, not even lump.

but it does add smoke flavor....not just what you want. to say it does not add smoke to the food is incorrect
