Ironically, the author of the don't-mix-your-terms post triggered a pet peeve shared my many, many people, of whom I am one. I quote:

"BBQ also implies their is sauce or rub applied."

"their" instead of "there"

I love irony. =)

This was very informative! I will keep all of this in mind when at the BBQ I’m going to this coming weekend.

We use coal chimneys and firestarters at my house. Actually I don't even know if we use the firestarters anymore, but definitely the chimney. The best part about the chimney is that nobody can judge it based on the amount of fire coming out of it.

And you forgot to mention that the meat drippings will create all the fire necessary for proper entertainment.

Of course, you need to also be aware of what to do if the grill gets wet inside (thanks, Google)

In fairness, I just brought the meat, didn't claim to know how to start a fire and therefore didn't try.

The mark of a truly competent person, I am told, is the ability to admit when they are totally out of their depth and back off.

Cheers
