>>>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.

>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...).
ćevapčići ?
