Yo' Pickleman,
Great to see you back!!!

You know... During my recent venture to the 14th Dam Gathering, I was settin' 'round the big campfire after the festiveties Saturday night, just staring into all those hot coals and remembered back to my scouting days... All that time spent cooking with coals and all those awesome meals....
What a great look back in time...
I see where the seasoned veterans in the DO circles are venturing into the use of coals instead of briquettes.

If I get time, I'll havta check that contest out.

Thanks Chip!!!

just staring into all those hot coals and remembered back to my scouting days... All that time spent cooking with coals and all those awesome meals....

This is why I need professional help:

When I stare into a campfire and similarly reflect upon the past, I think about how us scouts would eventually put OUT that fire.

Welp...
On second thought...
I just clicked on the rules page (Looks like something an attorney drew up) and see I only have a few days left to submit an entry and if I became a finalist, would have to go to New York City...
I'd rather keep my concoctions intimate, sharing them with my TD friends.
Joanie, Kevin, my son Colton and I entered one DO competition and it really wasn't my cup of tea.

Just for shits and giggles, I will pass this link on to the serious folk at IDOS...

[Chip]

but the trip to New York is paid fer by them,,, course that might not be a good deal for a southern country boy,, ya know,,,

I bet all their pickles are koshier,,,

Yup...
The thought of me being in New York City makes me feel uncomfortable...
Would probably feel like a caged animal.

Ira,
I can't help you regarding how you put your coals out, but could lend a hand keeping them hot...
If yaa wanna seek professional help, please don't ask Kevin... He's not that type of "Head Doctor."

[Ira]

Yup...

Want a bodyguard? I know all of the best restaurants.

And hookers.

I wonder if Ethel is still working at 23rd and Madison. She's gotta be about 67 by now.

"The City" isn't that bad anymore. It's totally different from the New York I remember from the mid 80's.

So people are using coals instead of briquettes? Are you talking about lump charcoal? I've used that on the grille, it burns hot but doesn't last very long. It'd be pretty difficult to get the correct heat on your oven.

[Dean in Eureka, CA]

Rock,
I'd guess that your coals must come from a campfire...
I zipped through the legal notice page real fast and stopped reading when it had California listed as a non eligible state...
That's really something.... All but a handfull of redwood trees in this country are in California.... Maybe they should change the name of their wine to Dogwood River Wine or Piss Fir Stream Wine....

We used coals from the fire to DO cook at the Dam Gathering. I could see where you would have to do it several time to get an idea of how many to use.
You would have to ask Sue for details as it was her mountain man breakfast that the coals were used on and my cinnamon rolls.

Jim,
Whadya think???
Hey you're in Oregon and the legal page made no mention of your state being ineligible...

I'm no good at it. It was Sue's meal that was cooked on the fire.

100% right about the city. Giuliani totally cleaned it up.

And from what I see, all of the "pros" are using Royal Oak Lump Charcoal, from WM.

Why would a 67 year old hooker be using Royal Oak Charcoal???
