Next, take a small nail, about a one inch finishing nail and poke a hole in the lid. Now, find a small twig and sharpen it until it plugs the hole you just punched in the top as tight as can be. Set the twig aside, as you won t need it for a while. Now toss the can, lid up on the fire. I ve tried a bunch of different fires.
Campfires seem to make the best char cloth.
Set it on the edge of the coals, and plan 2-5 minutes a side for cooking. Good charcoal fires work about the same. I ve tried this numerous times on my propane grill in the backyard, and on my coal forge, at both fast and slow heats, and never had any luck with making good char. My best guess is that even on slow heat, it is still too much for propane and coal. Okay, you have your char tin heating on the fire.
