I am definitely in the camp that reuses charcoal. I only use it in my chimney starter or in my Performer. Those of you who also reuse your unspent charcoal how do you determine what is salvageable and what is not? What I've been doing is holding it with my index and middle fingers on one side of the briquette and my thumb on the other. I press on the middle of the briquette with my thumb and if it easily breaks I toss it. If not I put it in a container to be reused. Does that method sound like an efficient way to tell if its salvageable? I am a bit of a cheapskate with some things and like to save what I can.
