What hassle of starting a BBQ, stack up blocks, place regular fire lighter blocks, apply flame to lighters, walk away, return 5 minutes later to fan gently, build flames, leave for 40 or so minutes and return to test heat.
Lids avoid flaming charred food, coal should be left for near enough an hour before putting any food on.
It is simple and very enjoyable.
The only on problem I have is the massive trolley my BBQ comes on is 2 inches wider then the shed door, it does go in, but not without a good bit of faffing every time.
I just lunched on left over burger (homemade of course), stuffed pepper, salad, houmous and coleslaw, so good, even a day later!
