There’s a mistake on the first line…. “real coal tires can be kindled” – it should read ” real coal fires can be kindled” as per article.

I first read this and thought wow, burning old tires for your BBQ, must give the meat an interesting taste.

I’ve heard that Henry Ford is largely responsible for the charcoal industry – “Kingsford” bricquets was one of his companies, originally founded to use up the scraps of hardwood left over from making Model Ts.

Those things burned coal, not charcoal, and the model is making coffee and cooking in a frying pan. I don’t know if meat cooked directly over a coal fire would taste very good.

Wait, if I’m reading this right… charcoal grilling ever WASN’T a common, everyday thing? Back-yard grills were a “vogue” item in the 30s? Huh.
