Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Living St. Louis producer Jim Kirchherr travels to Steelville, MO, an area once known as "charcoal country," to find out the process behind this barbeque necessity. Henry Struemph is a self-taught charcoal maker who takes aged bundles of wood and burns them down into charcoal.

    Lump Charcoal is the best fuel you can use for BBQ smoking! You will never use lighter fluid or briquettes again after trying The Good-One Lump Charcoal! If you want the best BBQ, it all starts with the best fuel and the best smoker!

    I was told that charcoal was used by the men in the mountains who made white lightening. It was hot, flameless and smokeless. Great for hiding from the revenuers.

    I believe it captures gasses escaping from the heated wood and is then used to continue heating the wood.

    I can't say for certain, but this man and other large manufacturers probably lobbied to get the regulations passed. Big business does this all the time, unfortunately. Because they have enough money to comply, but the small businesses that competed with them didn't. Now instead of just being big fish in a little pond, they're the only fish in the pond and can raise their profits, because there's no small operations left to compete.

    I love to hear local businesses like this in the spotlight. Kudos to you Mr Struemph. Unfortunately by the time your product makes it to St. Louis, the cost of your product exceeds reason for a product your burning. The greed in our retail chain is destroying our economy. There’s no reason a retailer should make as much as the manufacturer which seems to be the case in today’s retail market. I used to be a regular in Steelville, hunting and floating. When I get home from my deployment, I’d love to come buy your charcoal.
