Word of the Day / Quote of the Day

Why: I grabbed one of these at the store for our Echo Lake fishing/grilling today, being extremely confident in my ability to light and maintain a charcoal fueled fire. More realistic instructions would have been as follows:

1. Just light the bag!

2. Then stand there disappointed when it doesn’t stay lit.

3. Then open it with your pocket knife, stuff in some shredded paper towels and twigs and light it again!

4. Then become increasingly frustrated when it continues to not ignite.

5. Then swear to your friends that you were right not to buy the lighter fluid and that you have the situation under control.

6. Then send someone out looking for firewood.

7. Then use your BBQ tongs to move useless briquettes aside and make room for your wood fire.

I would like to point out that the review of this product on the Kingsford website is pretty crappy too.
