This week we went to the Upper Falls in Provo Canyon located about two miles up-canyon from the world famous Bridal Veil Falls. We brought a chunk of filet mignon and cut it into three small steaks & cooked them over charcoal in the Folding Firebox Nano, our new ultralight backpacking stick stove. WOW were they ever delicious! By far the best bit of outdoor cooking I've ever tasted.

I've always wondered what the performance differences there were between Natural Charcoal and the man-made Charcoal briquettes. Natural Charcoal is just that, carbonized chunks of wood. The natural charcoal I used in this video was the brand, Royal Oak. Man-made briquettes are made of carbonized sawdust mixed with Coal dust and other ingredients that help them stick together and hold their form. I really hoped to see a bigger difference in some aspect of performance but quite honestly they started, heated and lasted pretty close to the same. I really think that the Royal Oak worked a bit better but that may have been because that's the finding I had hoped for. One thing I did observe was that the Briquettes seem to hold their ash around them which becomes a bit of an insulating crust that I find myself scraping off in an attempt to increase the heat.
