I love food, and this "summer" I've done a lot of cooking on my BBQ - or rather the remains of a BBQ I bought a couple years ago from Argos for £20, which is basically a legless metallic dish and rack that rests on a camping table.
I do the lot - steaks, salmon, tuna, prawns, vegetable skewers. The other night I even did a paella. I think the neighbours are getting tired of the smoke but I'm low on sympathy.
Anyway I thought with the forecast for this week being good, we should have a BBQ thread, where we share stories, advice and ideas.
Getting a manual BBQ going isn't as easy as it looks, so I could do with some tips on the best ways to do it. How the hell do you even set fire to loose charcoals? I tried a drop of white spirit on it last night which only got me closer to torching myself than the coals.
So are you a BBQ fan? Maybe you're an expert? Maybe the last time you tried, you gave everyone food poisoning? Anyway, any talk of BBQ's worth reading about, put it here.
