Someone told me that when cooking with charcoal, I should wait for them
to turn white before cooking (they told me to wait about 45 minutes),

comments or suggestions?

Kingsford ingredients

Kingsford sends a form letter in response to consumers' questions
about the ingredients. According to the form letter sent in
August, 2000, Kingsford contains the following ingredients:

* wood char
* mineral char
* mineral carbon
* limestone
* starch
* borax
* sodium nitrate
* sawdust

I don't know why you'd use them to cook food. Use lump charcoal
instead (pure charred wood).

Because you have to go on a wild goose chase to find lump around here.
