Subject: RE: BS: How do you Bar-B-Que
Reminds me of the recent video I say of some rocket scientists speeding up the ignition of the coals with liquid oxygen. The whole apparatus went off into orbit!

Now here in Maine we also have the Lobster/Clam bake which is not exactly a BBQ but shares some elements. The way we used to do it (don't try this on your condominium balcony) is to pile up a heap of driftwood on a beach, light it up, and then toss stones in (beaches in Maine usually have easy access to stones); then we lay on seaweed, lobsters, clams, and corn, another layer of seaweed, and cover the whole thing with an old canvas tarp (don't try this with a plastic tarp), and drink cheap beer for 20 minutes or so. Everything should be nicely cooked and smoky by then. If not, there is always more cheap beer!

Cheerily,
