That was awesome!!!!!  I'll never be able to do this though...I failed basket weaving 101, so while I could make the charcoal, I wouldn't be able to make baskets to store them in.  LOL.  Oh well, buying charcoal from the store it is!

I have seriously considered trying THIS method.

Not easy finding a 30 gallon drum in metric Canada.  ??? :-\
When I get one, I want to try it.

My mother in law makes it between two corrugated metal sheets, like roofing sheets. Makes a sandwich out of it. Between the grooves in the sheets and such there's only enough airflow to burn it down slowly, which is I suppose what chars it. I've cooked with it; it works. But I don't quite know the whole process.

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

That's actually pretty cool, and would be neat to try, but... What's up with jungle Joe there? Somebody give that kid some shoes!!😂

I want to go that whole paleo route just once, just to piss off the neighbours.

@MacEggs. I might be able to help you with that. I live near a drum manufacturer. PM me if you're interested.

I tried it...but the neighbors called the cops when I took a club to their chihuahua.
