Cooking on a gas BBQ is for girlymen.

I doubt it's even classed as BBQing'.

Man up and get a proper one.

Best time to buy a BBQ is after the summer.

Charcoal is the only way to fly, we use the lightable bags in a nice big old steel bbq , light quickly and ready to cook in 30 mins then it stays warm all night....luvvly.

Get a barrel, cut it in half, weld some legs on, get a huge grill for both halves, paint with high temperature stuff, done.

Man up and learn to light charcoal!

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

The best way to get charcaol up to heat fast, is get newspaper, scrunch it up and twist tight, putting about 10 or more pieces down.  Then lay the charcaol ontop, and light the paper underneath. Get your misses hair dryer, and blow the paper on the low setting first, then use the high setting once the charcaol bricks start to catch light.

No need for the use of some stinking accelerant, and the hair dryer blows the paper embers/ash out.  Takes about 10 minutes, then you start cooking.
Life is like a skid mark on a toilet bowl.  Sooner or later someone\\\'s going to pi$$ you off.
