bbq chimney starter.



I have never had much of a problem but some days it can take longer than planned. My small camping bbq is where I have struggled before. I usually use a bit of wood to get it started. Shavings after planing wood are brilliant.

The chimney starters are brilliant though. I bought one just to see if it were any good and for £5 it has been brilliant. The only problem is that it does not hold that much fuel so I use the chimney to get a hot core of coals, tip it out and let the other ones round it slowly light.

You have obviously never heard of petrol - It never fails to produce a glow in the grate and is the bbq ignition choice of real men. It also adds a lead free four star flavour to your burgers.
 
Love a bbq & love my chimney - takes all the hassle out of it.

Hoy in some wood smoking chips, stick the lid on to keep it low temp & everything tastes amazing. I don't think there's anything that wouldn't be improved by woodchip smoked bbqing :p

Applewood smoked salad anyone?

Poundland have big bags of applewood chips in if ya need any.
 
Love my gas one tbf, was ideal when I was on shifts, just saves having to go in the house and cook on red hot days.

Even done Sunday dinners on mine just using it like and oven.

I just get the smoking chips for when I want a burnt wood taste

Enlighten me..... what is a proper BBQ?

Proper bbq is where you cook food slowly using indirect heat from wood or charcoal.
What most of us have is a charcoal grill. Which we incorrectly call a bbq.

The Americans have got this one right tbh. Much as I hate to say it.
