Charcoal is made from burning charcoal. If you use wood directly for barbecue, there will be the following three problems:
1. Smoke: Wood without carbonization will produce a lot of smoke when burned.
2. Smell: not the fragrance of fruit and wood, but the smell of choking smoke.
3. There is an open flame: An open flame coming up will cause the food to be easily burned. Charcoal for barbecue was also a method 20 years ago, and is still used in a small number of areas.
Charcoal is basically used to start a fire and roast duck. Currently, 80% of barbecue restaurants choose to use machine-made bamboo charcoal. Bamboo charcoal has the characteristics of low ash content, high temperature, no oil dripping and no open flame, and it is very popular among barbecue masters.
First of all, charcoal is easy to buy, whether it is a vegetable market, a barbecue ingredient distributor, or a barbecue ingredient store, but it is not easy to buy wood.
Furthermore, if you use wood to grill directly, the technical requirements are relatively high, and you need to control the heat well, while charcoal is much easier. After lighting, just put the ingredients directly on the grilling grid.
The texture and flavor of grilling directly with wood and grilling with charcoal are also very different. For those of us who are used to charcoal grilling, there is no soul in using electric grill or gas grill, let alone using wood directly. Grilled, because if you grill directly with wood, it is easier to mix the smell of the wood itself into the food, which requires specific wood to be used for grilling.
Compared to wood, charcoal burns hotter and cleaner. Temperature is important for purposes such as smelting. Clean combustion can improve the furnace environment and is also important for the health of smelting personnel; moreover, impurities in the wood may also affect the quality of the smelted metal.
Let me share with you the specific steps for using ignition wax to light charcoal:
a. Place the charcoal in a pyramid shape on the charcoal net, pay attention to maintain ventilation, and then take an appropriate amount (usually 5-6 bags are enough) to ignite the wax and plug it into the gaps in the charcoal pile.
B. Ignite the ignition wax. The flame after burning of the ignition wax can drive the burning of surrounding charcoal.
C. Add other charcoal blocks around the burned charcoal blocks to ignite them together.
D. In about 10 minutes, the charcoal will be fully lit and you can start grilling.
