With the old BBQ I always lit it because I can't understand his insistence on use of lighter fuel/petrol etc. Why rush?
Now we have been given a gas BBQ by my BIL (he upgraded) I can't get the darn thing lit!!

He makes BBQ sauce (secret recipe), I do the rest. Being left to do the clearing up alone gives me the opportunity to indulge in my swearing and cupboard-door-banging habit!!
The dogs assist by clearing the garden of dropped grub.
