Mitch f Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Was testing out some lures in the local civic park lake.I walked around the lake to a spot that is difficult to fish bcause the trees grow so close to the edge of the water. I found the remains of someone's charcoal briquette campfire. At least half the coals were still black and because of the recent rains were half submerged in the water. I noticed the entire cove had a ring of iridescence about 4-6" around the periphery. Charcoal must be some bad stuff...especially if its got lighter fluid in it I guess.

Wayne SW/MO Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Probably that nasty stuff you light with a match. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Members ddhlakebound Posted April 26, 2013 Members Posted April 26, 2013 Regular out of the bag briquettes contain many chemicals not found in natural lump charcoal. I no longer use anything but wood or natural lump charcoal for cooking or food smoking. Drop a few of the kingsford briquettes into a bowl of water and wait a day......
grizwilson Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 most of those brickettes are sawdust bound together with corn starch and nitrate.... I only use lump or wood and no lighter fluid. “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
ColdWaterFshr Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 sawdust = wood, no? I'm a Kingsford man, and the rest of you appear to be sissy buyin 100% organic charcoal kooks. Good for you!
Greasy B Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Probably that nasty stuff you light with a match. Your right, I can't imagine why anyone would cook over something absolutely saturated with a petroleum product. Whatever is in regular charcoal seems to burn off well before the fire is ready for cooking.
