cold brewed

[threeplusfire]

Recently we acquired a grill and engaged the experiments of outdoor cooking. In order to better heat the coals, we needed a metal coffee can. Folgers no longer makes coffee in large metal cans so I ended up with a big can of HEB coffee grounds. It isn't the coffee I normally drink, so I wondered what I was going to do with a couple dozen ounces of coffee grounds. It is getting hot too, notwithstanding this morning's thunderstorms. So the experiments with iced coffee began. Now that I've acquired a large glass jar and determined the 3 to 1 ratio and overnight steeping works best, I think I can move through all that coffee easily.

I didn't know that one *could* cold-brew coffee. This seems like a useful life skill to have in case of the end of the world, etc. How does one go about it?

Yay, grilling! I assume you're planning to use the can as a chimney starter? PLEASE be careful... cans are kind of flexible and don't have any handles. Hot coals HURT LOTS!

Assuming you're not a vegetarian, prepare for such delights as Cedar-plank salmon and really GOOD steaks. And if you don't have a grilling "wok," I highly recommend it for doing things like herb roasted red potatoes and baby squash on the grill.

Aren't you supposed to be using " Propane and propane accessories " ? ;)
