Charcoal: Practical Outdoor Emergency Cooking Fuel

[@markpeatrowsky3023]

From Scouting I learned that when you were done cooking, and the charcoals were not totally consumed, they could be saved. Hot, partially used charcoals, were dropped in a pan of water. Extinguished, they were dried in the sun to be used another day.

I do store charcoal in our storage sheds. Buy a few bags when on sale.

Great info (as always!) Thank you! I've learned from storing and using charcoal, that it's actually easier to use than propane for my Volcano Grill.

My local Kroger store just had an incredible overstock sale on these briquettes. They were selling 2 giant bags wrapped in plastic for $2.99!! My jaw just about hit the floor! I grabbed as many as I could fit in the cart. It was challenging getting them all into my car, but that sure made my day!!

I'm so jealous! Great find!

Question: Are “fast/quick lighting” Briquettes more dangerous to store due to additional flame accelerant additives? Any other considerations you would recommend when storing these as opposed to regular briquettes? Love your channel! Thank you.

How many Charcoal briquettes does it take to boil 1 liter of water ?

The making of charcoal is a cottage industry here in the Philippines. Most the wood used is not very good for the purpose. Sometimes, I have seen charcoal that was obviously made from old, used scrap lumber mixed in with the regular product. You could see the wood rot and a nail here sticking of of the lumps. I have never seen pressure treated lumber here so I would not worry much about contamination from that in the charcoal. It works, it gets the job done but I will stick with my stored bottled gas, alcohol burners and the small wood gasifier camp stoves we have as long as possible. We do have a really nicely made charcoal grill that can control the fire so if and when the only available fuel is the local charcoal, we can use it.

Interesting! Thanks. I'm curious about the genesis of your "Provident Prepper" name.

You two are great and I appreciate your videos and channel. Thank you. My primary fuel for cooking will be dry wood, secondarily I will be using charcoal and propane. If it's raining or too cold the more efficient charcoal or propane will be used. I've been practicing and of course propane is most convenient and fastest fuel. Charcoal is efficient, a bit slower but lasts a long time so if I have the coals going I will want to make use of the heat and cook several things. Wood (fire pit or fire place) is slower less efficient but the wood is all around me here. Plentiful and replenishable. Thanks again for your great channel. theprovidentprepper.org/
