He must be taking grill lighting lessons from Ed Crankshaft whose house the fire department now shows up on a preventative basis when grill season comes….
The trick is to let the charcoal absorb the first schpritzing of lighter fluid and then give it another and then light it. Too many idiots get it wrong.
My wife used to get on me for rearranging the coals with my fingers after the coals were initially lit. Only a few edges were lit and I wanted to place lit edges against unlit spots. If I accidentally grabbed a live one I dropped it immediately, so I didn’t see what the big deal was.

Nothing like burnt lighting fluid to give burgers that special taste.

Looks like Crankshaft put the lighter fluid on.

Did Arlo use gas? Lighter fluid does not blow instantly.

I hope Janis likes her Arlo well done.

He loves the smell of lighting the grill in the morning while listening to the Ride of the Valkyries. A true Memorial Day.

Old Man Arlo is still stoopid.

Aren’t they retired? 3 day weekends mean nothing to me. Especially after our long time staying home.

Life much easier with a push button gas grill. Here in New England we’ll need an umbrella over the grill this weekend.

If they can’t see your grill from the ISS, you’re not using enough lighter fluid.

As a matter of fact, I turned off the furnace 5 days ago – guess what I did this morning?

When you’re retired they are all 7 day weekends.

OMG I love Arlo. Even when he tries to get rid of his eyebrows.

We use a chimney starter, no lighter fluid to give that nasty chemical taste.

Arlo got some blow back. Too much starter fluid.

Aren’t they retired now? So what difference does a three day weekend mean to them? For us, also retired, that is when we avoid places like the beach!
