Imagine This Icon Inverted

[qos]

I am feeling beaten up by the Pentacles realm today.

I can accept that my 'divine discontent' about my job is A Good Thing.

But putting three beautiful steaks on the grill, having them not cook but still end up tasting like lighter fluid after being broiled is so Not Good.


Pizza just arrived.

Lighter Fluid Sucks

You can find these for about $7 at your local *-mart, too. Three (no more, no less) crumpled sheets of newsprint in the bottom, fill with charcoal, lite the paper and come back in 15 minutes to a bunch of nicely-started briquettes.

But: using match-start or otherwise lighter-fluid enhanced charcoal defeats the purpose of this device. Kingsford "plain" is cheaper and works without additional petroleum distillates.

Thanks for the tip.
I actually bought one of these when I bought my BBQ grill a couple of weeks ago, but the person helping me grill evidently didn't use it correctly, and the charcoal never lit.
I'll try again when the weather clears.
Thanks!
