[Rovin]

i myself doh really use pitchoil cause its not something i have use for so i dont really keep dat around, takes a while to burn off d smell too

i always have paint thinners on hand so i use a lil bit of dat jes to ignite or d kinda lighter chemical gel in a can that u dab onto d coals , works arite but constant electric fan breeze works best for me ....

What I do is 100 ml isopropyl rubbing alcohol + 100 ml cooking oil. Emulsify them by shaking well.

Homemade food-safe lighter fluid because that alcohol evaporates once the fire is going, and all that is left is the cooking oil soaked in the coals. Easy fire starter. Make a pyramid with the coals, pour fluid over the coals, and start fire with some newspapers buried at the base of the pyramid. Just have patience and within 30 minutes the coals are hot ashed over with no fan or blower, etc.

Cooking oil soaked paper towels are a good fire starter.

so long i eh make a bbq i forget i also use cooking oil as a starter fuel too

a few pieces of pitch pine wood in between d coals helps

sometimes i use a home made cooking gas torch to jump start d coals a bit then fan breeze in e tail ...

Pugboy teach me the tuna can special

Take a old tuna can, fill bout ⅛ with methylated spirits
Place under chimmney
Works really bess....no foul smoke.

I live in an apartment setting
So less fumes and racket i make while cooking better.

A few weeks ago i did a 5hr smoke on on beef chunks and none of the neighbours knew i was outside cooking.

Lol

if the nonbriq coals giving trouble to light
they probably werent properly made, didnt get a chance to carbonize all the way through
the way they make them is very rudimentary method

dig a big hole, stack the wood inside, light the top on fire then throw dirt to keep the heat in and hope it burns internally and turn to carbon
after a couple days
them fellas right by the guaico stretch doing that

[pugboy]

if you using lighter fluid check this vid

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Allyuh thinking all lil to far and to much chemicals...I just cut up some pitch pine and cardboard...coals be swinging in less than 5 minutes

A wick made of paper towels soaked in cooking oil with coals piled on works well and leaves no chemicals in your heat.

The wick is made deya style like you would for ghee deyas

pitchoil & constant fan blowing for dem coals to ketch ....

Put ONE coal on the stove top to get a lil corner going, then put it under a pile of coals in the BBQ pit and use a blow dryer, air blower etc and before you know it all the coals lit, Even for cold coals that stayed out for weeks.

[carluva]

Waste of time... Use a chimney starter with some gazette paper for kindling. Good to go in 20 mins while you prepping odder tings

i think yuh right, cuz i added some of the smaller pcs to the briquettes and they never light either.

[pugboy]

if yuh tap it the sound it makes can tell

a good hardwood charcoal give a thin sharp metallic sound, the wood is a hard carbonized sponge

a dull thud means it have plenty solids inside still and moisture

Got some bad coals once... put it in the oven for a 20 mins then light it up and it light nice.

Also I keep a couple pieces in the kitchen, after cooking curry or stew light the coal put it in a bowl and rest it inside the pot. The coal smokes up and flavors the food nice. Like a fireside cook...

Roasted tomato came out amazing. Very reminiscent of sun-dried tomatoes, concentrated tomato flavour, slight tartness from the natural acidity and the herbs took it over the top.

Also made a banana bread last night. Baking is my weak point.

Second take, last week it was a little dry. Made some adjustments and it's super moist now.

Wanna try bread soon.

[maj. tom]

Add some mayonnaise for better moisture and mouth feel to any baking recipe with eggs.
I experimented with this last Christmas with cake from scratch. You can add up to a whole cup of mayonnaise to the batter when you add 2 eggs. I used the good Hellman's, the one that looks a bit yellow (more yolk).

It really works with amazing results! Think, what is mayonnaise made of?
