The Model T was made partly of wood and its production created a lot of scrap. Henry Ford asked his partner Edward Kingsford to make use of the wood scraps. Kingsford had a chemist combine the wood with tar, cornstarch, and other materials to create small, flammable bricks -or “briquettes”. Henry Ford then sold kits with grills and briquettes that fit perfectly in the rear of his cars. Today, Kingsford is still America’s leading charcoal brand.
