Starting a BBQ is not rocket science—it’s fire science, which is way more fun because you get to eat the results. So gather your friends, your tongs, and a healthy dose of confidence. And if you screw it up? Order pizza. Nobody remembers a slightly burnt steak, but they will remember the guy who set fire to his patio.
Now go forth, light that chimney, and remember: patience is the secret ingredient. That, and a cold drink in your hand. Happy grilling.
