It has been an interesting charcoal week for me. I have always heard of finding odds and ends that are not charcoal sometimes, especially if using hardwood lump. I have occasionally found small stones, pieces of un-burnt plywood etc, but this week was fascinating.
First was a bag of Royal Oak lump. I was doing a practice burn playing around with the Assassin, and as I poured the remains of a half used bag of RO lump down the chute, I heard a big clang sound. So I empty the chute and find these sitting there:
WTH is that (not the white rock...lol). It looks like a meteorite. I am glad I found it before I lit the coals.
Next up, was a bag of Trader Joe's (Rancher) 100% hardwood briquettes. As I was pouring charcoal into the chimney lighter, this caught my eye:
Looks like some companies really need to step up their quality control.
Anyways, I know I am not the only one to find strange items in their charcoal, so post up oddities you have found!
