>>>For a while I used peanut shells as kindling, which worked great but made such a pillar of smoke that I'm lucky nobody called the firem.. firepers... firefighters. Then I switched to the little gas burner that's used for soldering... a minute with it and we're in business. But that was then... now I'm back to twigs, of which I have a lot, because one birch just died and we had to cut it down before it falls on the house.

>>If you burn a sheet of paper in the mainstay of those it works too. But they are a luxury.

>Of course we all have our preferred methods and are always ready to start a holy war about them :). I did have a genuine japanese device for fanning the coals - a simple plastic fan daughter got there as a souvenir :). Nowadays I use a throwaway plastic tray that came with one of the birthday cakes.

>One thing that seems to be a bit hard to find here is one of those american type spherical barbecues with circular grills. I first thought it's some kind of joke or a gimmick, but as they were so bloody cheap - I think the first one cost 12$ - I just had to try it and it worked great. On our open type barbecues I never seem to get the temperature right, so my ćevapčići are never as good as I'd like them to be. But I do get other stuff done well (or medium...).

It would be boring if we would do it all the same way. We could simply meet at MCD. The good on mine is - no additional fluids -no need for fanning. Friend of mine is upset with it because he is found of every gimmick that maks funning easier. I step back and enjoy my beer :)

Others use this. I have more funny ways but they could be a bit out of bounds.
