Ending the Fire Safely and Efficiently
Imagine you’ve done all your cooking and grilling and now’s the time to wrap it up. Then you discover you have so much more fuel still in the grill. What do you do to put out the fire? Douse water on the still burning embers? No. no. no. The best cost-effective way is to save the burning coals. Here’s what you can do:
- With a pair of tongs, get the bigger chunks that you can easily pick up. Be careful here. You don’t want to drop the hot coals on your feet or on anything that may burn.
- Put the big chunks inside an open tin can. A tin can with a lid for powdered infant milk is good.
- Close the tin can with its lid CAREFULLY. You could use the pair of tongs for this.
