Exploding charcoal from Trader Joe's

Started a fire in the chimney and when I poured the coals out into the Weber they exploded. Coals ended up all over my brand new deck and scorched all the hair off my arms. It seems like charcoal has been reformulated to burn quicker. Just the thing if you're building an IED, but be careful if all you want is a grilled burger.

2. Trader Joe - at least it's likely to be organic exploding charcoal!

3. It's probably free-range charcoal.

The charcoal ain't gonna explode all by itself. The DUmmy probably didn't want to admit that he pored more charcoal starter on the coals after he put them in the Webber. Or maybe he had some gasoline handy instead.

Who knows what goes on in the minds of DUmmies.......HAH..HAH..HAHHHHHHHH....Only the Shadow knows......

It's never occurred to me that charcoal can explode.

I've been lighting charcoal since I was a little lad, and I've just never seen any aberrant behavior in the way charcoal burns.  I've been doing it the exact same way all my life; one puts down some loose newspapers, scatters a few bricquets on them, and sets the newspaper afire.

I've never done it any other way.

It's a slow method yes, but why does one need be in a hurry to get charcoal alight?

I've always looked at lighting charcoal the same way I look at making a pot of coffee in a Pyrex percolator.  Take your time, and enjoy the moment.

I've seen it, but only in the little tablets of charcoal used for incense in Catholic churches - they have some chemical added to make them light more quickly and it's only when they're first lighting that it happens so I've always assumed it's from the chemical added to the charcoal.

Of course, the 'explosions' from these are tiny...but I'm sure that they could scare a DUmmy.

Charcoal is racist. It was the material of choice when applying blackface.

Commercial charcoal CAN'T explode, unless you add something to it (like gasoline) that will give the result the Dummy describes.

I had a building superintendent who was a member of the "burn baby burn" school of charcoal ignition. He would drown the charcoal in lighter fluid, then keep soaking the lit coals until they were white. I don't know how he could eat that lighter fluid ruined food. I have far too much respect for tasty dead cows to ever do that to a burger or steak.

Note to DUmmies :

When the charcoal is floating in lighter fluid, its best to not light it -

On second thought. What the hell, DUmmies - you only live once. Fire away !

Why are the primitives using dirty charcoal?  I mean, it even has the word COAL right there in it! 

I suggest they all switch to clean burning propane.  It's easy to light, primitives.  Just crank open the burners, leave the lid down on the grill, come back in half an hour, and light a match.

What a DUmbass.

You open the hand valve on the propane tank, turn on the burner, and press the red button.

No muss, no fuss, no half-hour wait, and your food doesn't have a petroleum taste.
