I don't think charcoal has any smell or taste to impart, especially
since, when the food arrives, it is red hot and anything volatile is
long gone. Those little reddish flames you see are carbon monoxide. Of

use lighter fluid. If I were going to cook with gas, I've got a
perfectly good gas stove in my kitchen.

I fished the Florida Everglades once 20 years ago, I should be a guide.


I've fished the Everglades well over 100 times. That was the plan
today, too, but the weather didn't cooperate. It's not looking good for
tomorrow, either.
