Renew the finish on my brazier?

[coloradoclyde]

Brazier runs on charcoal, I cut an old apple tree down and tuned the whole thing (except the trunk) into charcoal. Used a 55 gallon drum, I was amazed the whole tree went into the barrel. This was a big tree, not puny orchard one.

I’ve also used 6 inch pine splits chunks. I use mine a lot and even grill some burgers at home, and have ran ball with them too.

OMG, You don't grill over pine do you ?

 

[tenngun]

Oh no!!!!
But have roasted coffee beans or boiled water making hasty pudding, and boiled a lot of coffee.
Hot and fast.
Though I understand carp is best grilled on pine

What? You don't like that sooty, resin flavor it imparts...........?

If you go to truevalue.com and search for stove black you will find a liquid and a paste type. If you order it, it will ship freight free to your nearest store. OR, what my blacksmith friends do is rub metal that is at black heat with beeswax (it should smoke a bit) and wipe off the excess with a rag.

I have a cookie can with a nail hole in the lid, whenever I remember to, I fill it with Apple or pear Tree trimmings and throw it in the coals on the BBQ after grilling a steak or something. Just take the grill off, drop the can right down in the coal bed then stack the coals around the can & once smoke starts really billowing out drop the nail back in the hole. Then I just close the lid on the BBQ and let it go. Not as efficient as the 55 gallon drum, but it works well enough to keep me in charcoal.

I’m not familiar with these, but honestly my first reaction was “get a new girlfriend “
But then I realized the spelling is different as well

First thing that came my mind too.

Find a large enough container, and boil it for about 25 minutes. Turns it into rust bluing. And no stink like the paints make!
