    That’s pretty bad. What brand of charcoal is it?

  2. Light your can, and once you dump it into the grill, scatter the crumbs on top

    The sad little crumbs also Burn just like big chunks of coal

  4. put them in a foil pan and burn them. Cook something delicious. They are also nice in a fire pit.

  5. Looks like my latest bear mountain. Almost makes me prefer briquettes with how much of a pain it was

    I thought this was a picture of a coal mine at first before I saw the sub name

    Dump them on 1 min before I sear. Keep the meat in the cold zone while the crumbs ignite.

  8. I fill my chimney about a 1/3 full of briquettes to catch the crumbs and do a combo fuel cook.

    Don’t just dump them all into a fresh load. Air movement will be practically non-existent without a fan or lots of blowing PO.

  10. Collect them in a can, then use that can as a mini grill in the future.

    Fill an paper towel tube with the stuff ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  12. yeah. you would think they would make a roach clip, or something, for tiny BBQs…..

  13. Add the shards as needed to boost heat or extend grill time.

    Make a large foil boat, toss in the crumbs and light em up

    Plant them in the fall for nice large lumps next year.

    Use it in potting mix, to absorb moisture where you dont want it, etc. Tons of uses for charcoal aside from cooking.

    Lil sparklers . I dump em on the pile and hope they keep it going somehow

    Biochar for the garden! Great for soil health by giving microbes lots of tiny holes to live in

    I build my starter chimney with some greasy paper (from prior cleaning the grill), small charcoal, a handful of this stuff. Ignites pretty easily. Just have to be careful not to suffocate anything already lit

  20. Make your own black powder for your musket. Amazing what a 1960’s pharmacy would sell to a 9 year old. And I didn’t even have a musket.

    I use em for burger night.. Lights quick, burns hot

  22. dump them in a bucket of 50% piss and 50% Water for a week or two then apply to your garden beds. Charged bio-char.

    throw 15-20 full bricks into your chimney starter and light as normal. Once the fire is really raging like a jet turbine, sprinkle these remnants over the top, dust and all. Dance among the fireflies. Bonus points if you cover yourself in oily paper and video it.

    Put it in a smaller bucket and stir in water until you get a paste. Let it dry and it’s a solid brick you can break off pieces or just burn the whole thing as a giant briquette.

    I genuinely thought this was picture of a cave filled with charcoal.

    Make sure the fire is lit good and dump them in they burn just fine. They work great for hamburgers and steaks.

    Lmao you don’t have a hydraulic diamond press to form them back into lumps? Broke much????
