Supercool

I have always been a big fan of grilling out. Especially during this time of year when the weather is nice and the sun is out a lot later. For me, the smell of sizzling meat is synonymous with summertime. I will grill anything: hamburgers, chicken, steak, shish kebabs, ribs, whatever. But I only have one rule: I always have and always will only use a charcoal grill. The gas grillers will tell you that charcoal is messy, dirty and doesn't cook evenly. But I will tell you that the food tastes much better using a charcoal grill. That brings me to the coolest invention around: the chimney starter. Until last week I'd never heard of this, but it is the most practical $10.99 I've spent in a long time.

For the past week, the chimney starter has been a topic of conversation with friends and even strangers. I've been labeled a dork for making such a big deal about it but I don't care. This has revolutionized the way I grill forever. The best part is that there's no lighter fluid! The way it works is that you fill the cylinder with charcoal, crumple a couple pieces of newspaper, set in your grill, place the paper underneath the contraption, and light with a match. About twenty minutes later all the coals are orangy hot and ready to go. I think I might use it tonight. I'm getting psyched just talking about it. Ok so maybe I do sound like a dork.
