Memorial Day weekend is upon us. That means it’s time for barbecues! And once again, I am here to implore you to do your neighbors a favor and PLEASE DO NOT USE LIGHTER FLUID!
As you may know, this annual rant is brought upon by one particular neighbor who cooks out a lot. I swear, I think this guy uses a whole can of the stuff when he barbecues! The whole neighborhood reeks of the stuff, it’s disgusting.
If you are using a charcoal grill this weekend, PLEASE go out and buy a chimney starter. <— This is what one looks like. They are widely available at any store that sells BBQ/grilling supplies. And once again, here is how to use it. It’s pretty easy, even easier to figure out than the workings of scanning software.
Also, when buying charcoal briquettes, pay a little more and get a name brand like Kingsford. I’ve had some bad luck with the cheap stuff, it just doesn’t light as well and then stay lit.
Finally, ignore the Hot Dog Police. You go right ahead and put anything you want on your hot dogs. Anything except lighter fluid, that is!
