holler... bbq season is here :rockon::rockon:

i know lots of you guys do cookouts and party... and im planning on hosting one this weekend... and i got a few questions


its a byob/meat.

im using a charcoal grill since its gonna be in a park, whats the best way to light these baby's up? i've never really done it myself before h:
anything i should bring that i will forget?

any general advice?


lets share our ideas, stories and comments!

:cheers:

 

Chimney starter.

At least that's what the pros say. I don't have a charcoal grill.

 

The best taste comes from natural wood coal not charcoal, might want to pick that up. Other than that, Lighter fluid and you're good to go. Also you can pick up coal soaked with fluid, and honestly, you put a match to it and the shit just ignites. Never BBQ'd with anyhting other than charcoal, fuck gasgrills.

 

my grill is propane and my food always turns out awesome so whatever

if youre using real coal and not briquettes yeah, you'll need one of them chimney starters to get moving. but honestly if you dont want to spend a lot of money or time just get a bag of briquettes with some lighter fluid and you're good to go. just make sure you put the food on the grill after the flames have totally died down. ive seen people not do that and it was a royal mess, not to mention im sure the food tasted like gasoline

 

thanks guys.. ill probably go for the regular charcoal, hopefully i can find the already soaked ones....

am i going to need newspapers to get the fire going?


ps: i can't find any coal starter chimneys other than online :hs:

 

Best advice = get $5-10 from everyone, get a fresh keg and buy boxes of burgers f/ Costco or Sams club....I always have a fresh keg though.

 

instant light charcoal for ease.

chimney lighter if not that.

other advice. try to do it before you go do it at your party.

 

My advise: try to not get too drunk and and fall on the grill.

Part from that i'm sure everyone else thats going to be there will help you out. Bring cooking utensils, Pam so that the shit dont stick.

 

can't wait to use this grill i made for my backyard. it does 4 pitts at a time.

 

i dont like asking people for money, so thats why i decided its bring your own food/booze... everything else is there... a grill, water/pop, entertainment and activities.

:thumbup: yes! i would have forgotten that!
