Here are the simple basic things you will NEED to cook your own BBQ food, I will assume you can get your own matches/lighter!
If you don't have a BBQ find the right one for you below
Lumpwood charcoal is made by burning wood very slowly without any oxygen present, burning away all of the water and other contaminating substances until pure carbon remains. Lumpwood lights a lot faster than briquettes and also burns hotter. However, once it has reached its peak temperature, lump charcoal loses it heats quite quickly and, therefore, burns faster than briquettes. For these reasons, lumpwood is ideal for barbecuing things that do not require a long cooking time, such as steaks and burgers, etc.
---OR---
Briquettes are manufactured by compressing wood products with additives that help them light and burn consistently. Briquettes with no additives will be labelled as 'natural' or 'hardwood', but burn almost as hot and as quickly as lump charcoal. Briquettes burn slower and at a more consistent temperature, making them ideal for slow cooking and roasting as they rarely require you to refuel your barbecue. However, briquettes take longer to light than lump charcoal and produce more ash.
You have to light your fuel but would you like your food to taste of, food or paraffin?
Flames for up to 10 Minutes, Eco friendly firelighters made from Wood Wool & Wax. They have no smell to them and light fast and for ages.
Get yourself a good set of tools so you can place, turn and flip your food! Don't get lazy and always keep them clean so that you can start each cook with fresh clean tools.
Not totally essential but its a really good tool to make your life that much easier.
