Stretching a Bag of Charcoal
Charcoal is expensive. What can we do as grilling enthusiasts to keep the party going? My friends have called me cheap and I wear that badge of honor with pride (sometimes). Buying cheap charcoal though is on my list of don’ts, I find that when buying briquettes only “blue-bag” will do for me, the off brand stuff is just not worth it. I’ve been burned (get it?) too many times by cheap briquettes to do it again.
Thinking about your first charcoal grill? Jay and Brian make the case for the Weber Kettle, the classic that has launched a million backyard cookouts. Plus: Brian's Bulgogi bowl, Jay's Big Green Egg pork chop tips, and the scraper tool every kettle owner needs.
