How do you get it hot?

[Nick]

Your barbeque, I mean?

I'm on gas these days, but I used to be a lumpwood man

Lumpwood with a turbo. The BBQ is made from an old boiler and has a hose attached at the bottom. To get it going quick an old vac cleaner in blow mode is attached to the bottom. BBQ is hot in around 10 mins.

A layer of briquettes but I get them going by using a bag of instant light lumpwood... I like the briquettes as they last for ages... They can be a git to get going though but the instant light stuff takes care of that

Im all for these bags of charcoal which you just light... Either that or normal charcoal doused in lighter fluid. Ive got this really naff white cream stuff that just doesnt work, and neither do firelighters. The briquettes are just too small to get any kind of airflow going on inbetween them and having a firelighter underneath.

Either way, it has to be charcoal all the way.

Clean Lumpwood for me not that I do much BBQing.

I once had to try and run an iron smelting furnace with quick lighting charcoal which was a joke. How anyone could cook food over such smoky and dubious smelling stuff is beyond me

3 seconds from lighting to ready to cook? Thats insane!

Love the photo though!

[megah0]

Aye, not even enough time for Zakky to sacrifice a sausage!

[Alex]

I dunno, I think 3 seconds of that is enough time to sacrifice a small eliphant, looking at the picture.
