Supplies

Here is an essential list supplies every barbecuing bachelor should own.
1) Charcoal grill. I recommend the 22.5 Inch One-Touch Silver Weber Grill. You can cook just about anything on this baby. The kettle design has changed little in decades.
2) Weber 87886 Chimney Starter: This elimates the need for lighter fluid. In addition, it serves a "measuring cup" for your coals. I.e. I know I can grill 3 tbones on only half a chimney of coals.
3) Decent set of Stainless-Steel Barbecue Tool Set. The most imprtant tools would be the tongs, the spatula, and the brush. Most kits also come with a poker type tool. You can toss that one out. You won't be needing it.
3) Coals
4) Matches
5) 1 beer for every 15 minutes of grilling
