So today, I went to the park with a group of my friends from Xavier and Gonzaga and tried to set up a bbq grill. Lo and behold! We couldn't get it started. The stupid coals wouldn't catch, no matter what a tried. BBQ fail #1.
Throughout our attempts, Matty went crazy with the lighter fluid, so we had a pure lighter fluid fire! Horray! Blackened burgers! Yummeh! Of course it would be us with the failed grill. Of course. BBQ fail #3
Half way through our attempt at starting the fire, Alister figured that we could stick some dried grass into the bbq pit to help the fire burn better. So, we put some grass into it, lit it up with some matches and... it started to smell like weed. No joke. It was gross. BBQ fail #4.
A little while after, Matty comes back from the store with more matches and some fire starter cubes. This time, we were so sure we would create a fire. We had fire starters! What else would we need? So we put newspaper at the bottom of the grill, poured some coals in, stuck in some fire starters, put in more news paper and lit it all. ... BBQ fail #5
fortunatly for us, two of my friends, Ken and Anthony, from MCBCSL just happened to be bbqing right next to us, and what did they do? Not only did they help us start our sad, sad, totally failed coal bbq, but Anthony leant us his own grill to use (food included). How kind of them was that? =) BBQ not fail. ... thanks to someone else's grill and expertise.
final result:
HUGE BBQ fAIL ON OUR PART.
