No luck getting the coal to burn. I burned a hot fire of well seasoned hard maple for 2 hours. I put about two big coffee cans of coal into the bed of hardwood coals. Then I put 4 or 5 pieces of maple on top. I left it like this at noon. I got home at 5 to find the wood had burned to ash and the coal was discolored but not burning.
I think I’m trying charcoal next. I also think I’ll be making an extra trip into the camp site with a load of seasoned maple.
