A "quintal"-size bag of charcoal.

Tanned, rested, and ready to switch to turbo mode.

The Charcoal Factoid of the Day, gathered during our recent travels in our native Nicaragua is that a “quintal” bag of charcoal for sale in colonial Granada, on the banks of Lake Nicaragua, retails for about fifty cents US.  It’s going to be hard to find a competitive substitute at that price!

We’ll be reporting more on our fact-finding mission shortly and lots more shortly.
