Ever since man existed, he has used
wood to grill its food. Although he has discovered the so called practical use
with gas, petroleum fuels, electricity and even briquettes, we have never been
able to reproduce the exquisite taste wood brings to our food.
Here at Fuel & Flame we
sell charcoal the old fashion way. We use only natural hardwoods,
primarily sugar maple. Our production process is rather simple. We stack logs of
hardwood in large oven and then lit them up. The fire eliminated most of all the
humidity present and leaves the wood charcoal with all it
s
flavor.
The
differences between hardwood charcoal and charcoal briquettes
Our charcoal is produce only with hardwood lumber, principally sugar maple.
Briquettes are manufactured with charcoal powder combined with fillers (i.e.,
sand, straw, etc.). The briquette is then coated with a petroleum product to
maintain its shape. The grey ash color appearing while it burns is caused by
this product. If fact, it also causes the briquettes to take a much longer time
to turn on and reach ideal barbecuing temperature. You also evidently need a
liquid lighter fluid.
The difference between Basques Hardwood Charcoal and the others
What essentially differs us from the competition is our hardwood charcoal. Our
lump charcoal is made only with logs which have been selected cuts grown under
regulated forest regeneration programs. In fact, you will not find any
construction or destruction residue in our bags. That means no nails, pieces of
metal or again charcoal which may look like a two by four.
The difference between Basques Hardwood Charcoal and gas barbecue
What a question! There is one dominant reason why gas barbecues are amongst us
today; its because its practicality and that is about it. Gas does not come
close to charcoal's terms of taste. In fact you have to add flavored wood in
order to compensate. Gas barbecues do not reach desired temperatures and exposes
your meal to a high amount of humidity. These two elements prevent proper
searing of your meats and vegetables.
