Camping: "Ford" Briquet Cooker
Here's a interesting old FORD item some of you may have not seen. Here's a quote from the Kingsford Charcoal web site. "In the 1920s, when Henry Ford learned of a process for turning wood scraps from the production of Model T's into charcoal briquets. He built a charcoal plant, and the rest is history. The Kingsford Company was formed when E.G. Kingsford, a relative of Ford's, brokered the site selection for Ford's new charcoal manufacturing plant. The company, originally called Ford Charcoal, was renamed Kingsford Charcoal in his honor."
