You may be able to buy large (50#) bags of real charcoal, not briquettes,
somewhere near you.  I found it listed under Charcoal in the yellow pages,
but Milwaukee is a large city.  Garden centers, hardware store may be other
places to check.  It is just hardwook charred without oxygen--nothing added
like lighter fluid & glue to shape it.  We have used it occasionally for
block parties in a large grill/roaster since it makes a better fire. It cost
more than regular briquettes, as I recall, but you would have a summer's
supply & not have to pay shipping.
