Since we are responsible for bringing lunchmeat sandwiches for 20+ people this weekend I went to Costco last night to stock up. While there I figured I would pickup more of my favorite lump charcoal made by the Original Charcoal Company. Here is a review of it from the Naked Whiz.
Unfortunately, the only brand they had left was Kingsford. I talked to a sales associate who said that they carry, as he put it, “the good stuff” only during the barbeque season. This made me realize that Labor Day weekend to many is the last day they get to enjoy real barbeque or grilling.
This brings me to my BBQ Proclamation.
My good people of cyberspace who doth read this blog. I hold you accountable for your actions. To this I press that you fight the urge to fall victim to the terrible misfortunes of grill abandonment during the old and young months of the year. Halloween BBQ chicken wings? Hoorah! Spicy BBQ’d ribs for Christmas? Aye!
When the winds blow cold and the leaves turn brown we must stand up - with tongs in hand and unite against the evil forces of laziness. You must grill, you must smoke, you must light the fires to which you must cook on until the embers glow orange and die with purpose.
To this end only will you find a true barbeque utopian world.
OK, I’ve been reading too much 19th century literature. Seriously though, barbeque is not just for summer. And really, sucks they don’t stock it during fall/winter.
