How Long Does It Take To Light A Grill

How long does it take to light a charcoal grill? Well, for me it takes 1 hour and 15 minutes (jeese).

If you have not seen it already Gourmet magazine has a special grilling issue out this month and I am going to try three recipes out of it. Today I did a flattened grilled chicken (whole chicken I might add)

Scenario:

*75 minutes light the grill (i do not use lighter fluid i use a chimney like devise and the flames from the newspaper kept blowing out.

* prep chickens you must flatten the chicken by pressing down hard....OK here i go press press press.......press....press....squirt....salmonella everywhere......(bleach bleach where is the bleach)

* finally baste the chickens and lay on grill.................HUGE FLAIR UP SMOKE FLAMES EVERYWHERE

* flames die down everything is OK wait 30 minutes to flip...

* beep beep beep timer goes off flip chickens with mighty tongs..............chicken is now in the grass (that is OK that piece is for billy)

* so 80 minutes later the chickens are done...........yeah......have not eaten them yet thought they are for later tonight............

P.s.

after this scenario I have decided I need a gas grill and if you will notice I have attached a picture of the grill I desire....maybe Santa will bring me one.
