My wife can handle the BBQ.

So why didn't you help her? I would have.

SHENS! I demand pics, preferably nekkid with an arched back.

TIA.

Sorry, the poster I had made, is too big to scan....😛 😉

Yeah, i once tried to scan... eh, something but it didn't fit on the scanner either.

Just say no to the man boobies!

I know it is hard for you, but there's always surgery.

Well with that attitude, you're never going to know a women who can start a bbq. Here's a thought...did you offer your help? Or your just too cool to do something kind like that.

He was too busy trying to get his collar up in the just right position.
Isn't brigden a woman?

20 years ago we used to call the state you are in "confused" 😉

huh?

it's a song, a bad song, but a song none the less.
lmao, I know...I'm just screwing with you 😀

gotcha! 😉 🙂
So how yooooou doin'? Wanna meet me out back in my red rag top?

As long as it's not raining! 🙂
 
Last year at school there was a group of people going to BBQ stuff.. I didnt know most of them but they asked me to tag along. "Hey, its better than dorm food" i thought. So we get there, and since im the "outsider" of the group, i just kind of sit back and watch. None of them knew how to start a grill. They put the charcoal in, doused it with lighter fluid, and watched... when the flames went away they started freaking out, dousing the charcoal with even MORE lighter fluid. Obviously there were flames for 2 seconds then it calmed down. The whole time im trying to keep from laughing. I offered to help but they said "No we got it".

So thats how they cooked the burgers and everything else. Their solution was to put the meat on and keep dousing lighter fluid on the charcoal the whole time. One girl even called her dad saying "Dad the flames keep going out." To which he said, like any normal person would, "They are supposed to do that."

Point of Story: Worst Burger ive ever had. Made by both males AND females. The stupidity of that event amazes me to this day.
 
I did offer her help, and I've shown her how to do it properly in the past. She's such a jilted bitch that she won't accept my help because she thinks if I get it going I'm trying to make her look stupid.

I just cooked up a couple of burgers for my GF and I. I offered to leave it on for her, but she claimed she didn't want it anymore.

Omg...we went to the west coast of Vancouver Island, for a few days not long ago, and we bought some charcoal, and did a salmon filet, and veggies on them....they were soooo good! We have a propane bbq at home, but charcoal just seems to make things taste better! I dunno??😕

Interesting.......... I will have to experiment 🙂

The burgers WOULD have tasted great. I love charcoal taste of things. However dousing them in lighter fluid the whole time you cook them in order to "keep getting the flame" makes the said burgers taste like lighter fluid. It was nasty.

Depends on how you are going to do it, to use a propane burner to light a charcoal grill is a good idea, you won't need any fluid.

Yes, that's pretty bad! Considering the directions are right on the bag the charcoal came in!
