Charcoal Cooking
I am about to put a charcoal grill on my party barge. Any tips on what to
do with the charcoal after grilling? I do not want to leave them in the grill while moving. Thanks. -- David M.

Charcoal grilling on boats if forbidden in our marina because of the fire hazard.. I'm not sure what to tell you about how to secure the grill. |

Not recommend, but I have seen many boaters dumping the charcoal over board. (premium whiskey are filtered through charcoal) Without air charcoal will stop burning. At one time, I had a grill with an air tight cover. Once I was finish I use to close the air thigh lid and save the charcoal for the next time. It work fine for me and I carried much less charcoal. With this air tight lid you have to have a visual watch until its cool and no hot hash is dropping on flammable substances. With propane you have to make sure that it does not leak or you will not live to tell about it. Check West Marine Magma Charcoal BBQ Marine Kettle® Charcoal Grills With this type you can close the lid and the charcoal will stop burning and your can re- use the charcoal the next time. "David M.

Rosalie is correct not too many marina are allowing the use of propane or
solid fuel BBQ . As an addendum to my last post I am adding the following: My reply was solely indented for the disposal of use charcoal. I myself have stop using BBQ on my sailboat for safety reason. Some insurance companies are not tolerating use of BBQ on board boats of any kind. Many power boat are carrying close to 200 gallons of gasoline on board. All is needed is something to cause a flash point in the presence of volatile chemicals and an entire marina or anchorage can be wiped out. wrote in message ...

Being wood, I'd think they'd float and create an embarrassing mess, wouldn't they?....especially if they scraped against your hull making a black mark or that big bruiser WWF wrestler's new yacht on the other finger pier...(c; |

No. That's activated charcoal. Entirely different item than the cooking fuel, which is not activated, and which is full of clay and other binders to make it into briquets. |

I tried that: Ashes sink/dissolve, but unburned charcoal pieces float
and make an embarrassing mess. Compressed (char?)coal pellets you can sometimes get might be heavier. Chris David M. Hitchner wrote: I am about to put a charcoal grill on my party barge.

Why not have a dedicated metal pail/lid to keep them in until proper disposal? note: should have a couple inches of sand in the bottom to protect gelcoat etc from heat. |

Thanks for all the responses. I had thought about putting them overboard
since it is wood and should not cause any environmental impact but I'd really rather not do that. I liked the idea about the bucket with sand. Since the grill is relatively small, I should not need a large container. A little water on top should also help cool things down. As far as fire hazards go, the grill will be located away from the engine and fuel and hanging off the side of the boat. Also, I bought a portable grill with a latching cover that should contain any sparks, etc. Since I do not house my boat at a marina, I do not need to worry about any rules they might have. "David M.

What's all the fuss? If you burn real hardwood charcoal and not those
briquettes you will have almost no ash. If your grill has a tight-fitting cover, you just cover it and let the fire go out, let it cool, and use the unburned charcoal another time. |
