Charcoal, Tom, not coal. Nobody barbecues on a coal fire. (And only amateurs burn off their facial hair.)
Actually, I don't usually barbecue on charcoal either. I usually smoke over hardwood; when cutting up wood for the winter, I set aside quite a bit of any hickory I run across. But the VFD has a different tradition, as well as their own cookbook.

Never been there, but I came close when I drove from Tigerville, SC to Gatliburg, TN in 2006.
It's sort of like Rivendell, except atop mountains instead of in a hidden valley.
If only I'd known about it sooner. Plus I had to work today anyway.
Hmmm ... no singes, still has all his facial hair, no evidence of coal dust, seems suspicious ...

Yeah, okay.
I've only tried smoking once, a turkey for Thanksgiving, and surprisingly it turned out really well. (Surprising because it was my first time.)
Come to think of it, why not use coal, for that little extra coal tar/dinosaur flavoring?
(I know, the coal is older than the dinosaurs.)
I was just up in your neck of the woods for about 30 minutes this morning. Stopped by Ken's grocery in Tuckasegee on my way back south.
