Crispin and all,
Please correct or confirm my impressions that charcoal would not be very
good for a short 5 to 10 minute heating job. Charcoal is relatively
slow to start. (But it could be fine for food warming or tea during
a night-guard's many hours in the cool/cold of the night).
And the Sarai cooker uses little fuel but is for cooking multiple foods
in vertical containers and is not associated with short-term cooking.
If you have experience, please comment about charcoal and short-term
fire needs.
Paul
