No, it's not off topic.

Maybe everyone has one of these and I'm the last to find out......

Scroll down to the chimney starter.

A couple of my boating destinations involve bringing charcoal and fluid for
the end-of-day feast, typically Nathan's hot dogs, the food of the gods. I'm
not crazy about transporting lighter fluid, or the charcoal with "built in"
fluid. So, I blew ten bucks on this chimney starter. Charcoal goes in the
top and 2-3 sheets of crumpled newspaper go in the bottom. You light the
newspaper, wait the usual 30 minutes, and you have a fire. What's
interesting is that the resulting coals end up more evenly lit than those
done the normal way. Must be the shape of the thing, because the newspaper's
gone in under a minute, so that can't be a factor.

Oh, and another thing, if you use just a few coals, you can keep the
coals in the chimney, put a pot to heat water on it, or a pan to fry.

It's also PERFECT for making seared tuna. Put a grill rack right on top
of the chimmney, sear a cube of tuna marineated marinated in soy sauce for
20 seconds on each side. Cut into slices, serve with wasabi. It's like
grilling on top of a jet engine.

Stop. I'm having leftover chicken tonight, and breakfast was boring.

Breakfast is always boring.

My 15 yr old son is expanding his kitchen repertoire lately. His latest:
Garlic scrambled eggs. 15 cloves of garlic, minced fine, sauteed slowly in
real butter, eggs added near the end. Disgusting. Delicious. No big will
bite you for weeks after eating it.
