With coals building up this time of year, I got to thinking about how coals remind me of BBQ'ing. Maybe I was just hungry at the time, but I've got a lot of odd size pieces of oak and hickory laying around. When gathering wood I couldn't leave them behind just because they weren't cut to 20 inches. I've never made my own charcoal before, but after a little research it doesn't seem that difficult to do. It would be fun to be able to say I made the charcoal. Has anyone made their own?
