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.
