Place a charcoal briquette in each compartment of the egg carton. Pour melted paraffin to soak charcoal and carton. Allow to harden. Tear off compartments as needed and place within charcoal or wood to be lit. Light carton to start fire. Simple and easy.


That's a good idea, Roger. Thanks for that.

OK...time for a follow up....was in WAL-MART the other day looking at plants...but they had a BBQ section in the same area....found "sort of" what I was looking for....$9.92 for either a round or square model....was not as heavy/ good as the one I had seen.... but same style....got it and another bigger one $17.92 for use at home....

By the way...I had to assemble the home unit tonight....72 pieces of hardware and about 10 "other" pieces.....took an HOUR ....by time it was done I decided it was too late and just cooked the burger on the stove....:lol:

If you really like BBQ, then charcoal is a must.... it's also ideal for using different wood smoking chunks...

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Don't forget the WeberQ


http://www.weber.com/q/100_detail.aspx
We've been boat camping with this one for a while and the convenience of gas+piezo start is sweet. It grills awesome because the heavy cast iron grate holds more heat than the cheaper wire ones.
I know the usual gripes about the gas and weight etc but with the fold-in shelves, vinyl cover and little replaceable grease pan it is a pretty comprehensive little bugger.

SO JIM...Inquiring minds want to know...

Why you would bother to to take the time to solicit information from us about BBQ's...AND THEN GO OUT AND BUY A PIECE (2 pcs.) OF JUNK FROM WAL-MART???? You'll probably be lucky if it makes it through more than a few trips and uses.

Those BBQ's on wheels made from propane tanks are neat, can cook a whole pig and have room for beans, bread etc.:tumble:

We built one almost like you are describing..but just a little bigger. You can roast 20 turkeys on this baby at one time...or a whole elk carcass.
