Charcoal Fuels, Igniters, Building Techniques and Procedures Explained

Unless you live in an area where the climate is always warm and sunny, chances are you're thinking of packing up that charcoal grill and relegating it to the shed with the rest of your summery seasonal items. This need not be the case! Possibly the most underutilized and unappreciated kitchen accessory, the grill can do things no other kitchen tool can accomplish.

Lump charcoal is available in most areas under the names "Natural," "Hardwood," or "Cowboy" charcoal, but they're all the same. If lump charcoal is not available in your area, by all means, use briquettes that have not been treated with lighter fluids. No Matchlite please. ...
