    Trying to get rid of a friend / family member who doesn’t take the hint it’s time to go.

    I think that’s around 2.5

    Ahh the wire grill rack, no need to wash it up, if it needs a clean follow instructions below:-
    Cover liberally with lighter fluid, stand well back, throw in a match, once the flames have gone out a brief rub with a wire brush and it’s as good as new, this also sterilises the whole BBQ and is all that is needed at the beginning of each season to prepare a BBQ still covered in last years food stuff!
    This technique does of course come with a health warning and should only be carried out by semi responsible adults (fully responsible ones would think this was not a safe method!)

    Simo, et al,

    Aren’t those the same instructions for getting the charcoal started? What am I missing?
