The history and tradition of burning charcoal dates back thousands of years, and there's something magical about cooking on a charcoal grill.
Coal is the traditional fuel for barbecues, because it produces a warm, long-lasting fire, which is virtually smokeless. The basics of wood to make charcoal, burning wood in an oxygen-poor environment, a process that drives the moisture and volatile gases, in the original fuel. The elimination of moisturereduces the weight of fuel up to 70% and the material is carbonized also burns much longer than the original piece of wood.
Coal has been produced since prehistoric times and we know that after the discovery of an ancient organ in a glacier melting in the Austrian Alps. Scientists from the remains of a man behind some 5,000 years ago and found them too, was wrapped with a small field of charred wood in foil. The scientists concluded that thesmoldering and charred wood that man probably would have used to light a fire, because aside from this area, the fire was not wearing any other commodity, like a flint.
Even 6,000 years ago, coal was the fuel of choice for copper smelting and this remains the case for iron, and later in the 17 th Century, to be replaced by coke. Coal was also very popular in many other areas, much later, primarily because of the abundance of forests in manyThe process of felling areas and sustainable use of resources. Something that we should consider in this era of global warming into account - many environmentalists see wood and coal as carbon neutral, because the trees' ability to grow and absorb greenhouse gases. Coal was used for space heating and perhaps we should start using better chimineas patio heater powered by gas, instead?
The final step in a fuel from coal for heating and industrial to aKitchen equipment for leisure took place around 1920, when Henry Ford created the Holzkohlebrikett. The business proved extremely profitable for Ford, as well as charcoal briquettes from waste car factory and its ancillary activities which encourages recreational use of cars for picnic - buy great links! In fact, barbecue charcoal and coal were sold at Ford dealers Ford as well.
The response method is used to produce charcoal briquettesand is finished in wood goes through a series of hearths or ovens and the great revolution is that there is an ongoing process, rather than in batches, such as in the conventional lump of coal to be done. The traditional method of production of coal has been the accumulation of wood in a pyramid and cover with soil, grass or ash, so that the air vents at the base and a chimney at the top. The wood was then set on fire and burn slowly, and once complete the vents were thenuntil then the pyramid would be covered fresh.
I suspect that the benefits of the production of briquettes for the production of business man attractive, but there is something magical about the mass production of lump charcoal. Various stages of the process indicated by different colors of smoke, as the moisture is removed and there is an element of skills passed down from father to son. Maybe I'm too sentimental, but when I cook over charcoal, I'm always in the safeKnow that a traditional sector spreads.
