Barbeque Tool

Don't Use Gasoline To Light Up The Barbeque Grill!

The time had come to light up the barbeque grill!  There was only one small problem. With all the preparations he had made for the cookout, Frank had forgotten charcoal lighter! Not to be detoured by such a small detail, he entered the tool shed at the back of his yard and returned with a large can of gasoline.
 
Frank had built a gorgeous new backyard barbeque pit, whom, to the disgust of the brick masons, supervised every detail of the project.  It was a beautiful fireplace style grill with the chimney just about head, high built of the same brick that covered his home.

Proud of owning the best looking barbeque pit in our neighborhood, Frank's grill featured an arched flat black steel bonnet for enclosed cooking; with a warming tray built into the side of the brick pit to keep rare steaks from getting cold while others cooked longer. There was even a compartment built on the opposite side to house starter fluid for the charcoal.

 After dumping a large amount of charcoal into the bed of the grill, he picked up the can of gasoline.  By now the neighbors had begun to realize what Frank was about to do and began hollering at him to put down the gas can!

Several friends offered to run to their homes and get charcoal lighter fluid. No Way!  Frank was determined to kick off this celebration with a big fire!  He also guaranteed everyone that he knew what he was doing!  He was enjoying the spotlight; being the center of attention!

He dumped the container of fuel over the charcoal and continued pouring even after the briquettes had been thoroughly drenched.  Now came the moment of truth!  He lit a match and with a melodramatic flair and tossed it onto the charcoal! Whoooomp! 

Brick mortar is very porous and does not always bond perfectly to a surface without leaving a tiny crack in the joints between bricks. When gasoline fills that fissure, it will flow into the base of the structure, such as a barbeque pit.

Vapors from the gasoline that had flowed into the grill did what they do when they come in contact with a flame. The grill exploded!  Bricks and mortar blasted into pieces and rained down from the sky onto all of us who had observed the big bang! No one was hurt because most of the crowd had run for cover when they saw what Frank was about to do.

He was slightly hurt by a fragment of brick skimming across the top of his head.  Nothing serious, but his grill was destroyed! A few seconds before, it was a magnificent example of craftsmanship; something to be proud of and enjoy for years to come. Instantly it was just a pile of trash!  

Although Frank has recovered from last year's calamity, he has made plans to build an even bigger charcoal cooker than the last one. I doubt he will ever use gasoline to start a fire again!

When grilling barbeque chicken on a Charcoal Grill what are somet things i need to know?

I just bought a charcoal grill and i want to start experimenting with different kinds of meats. When grilling barbeque chicken what are some things i need to know like preparing the grill, grill times, tools or utensils, and additional things i might need to know about. Any barbeque sauce recipes would be helpful too!
So if i put the charcoal on one side i want to put the chicken on the other side? Also the 2-3 zone setup should i build a bigger pile of briquettes and then a smaller pile then an empty space for those flareups? I have a small to medium size grill.

I bought a Webber Gas Grill a couple of years ago, along with the grill was a cook book, which contained the following recipe for grilled chicken:
Ricotta Chicken
1 whole chicken 4 to 5 pounds
12 oz. ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/4 tsp dried basil, or oregano
3/4 tsp dried tarragon
2 Tbs minced parsley
1 large clove garlic, mixed with olive oil
1/4 tsp paprika

Rinse and pat dry w paper towels
Remove the whole backbone and tail.
Place chicken skin side up and press down with palms to "pop' bones so chicken will lie flat.

Using a sharp knife and fingers loosen skin over top of breast and drumsticks. Mix ricotta, & parmasean cheese, egg, 1 tsp of the basil or oregano, 1/4 tsp tarragon. Spoon the mixture under the skin.

Brush lightly with the garlic oil basil or oregano, and remaining terragon and papreka.

Place chicken, skin side up on grill. Grill over INDIRECT HEAT, not directly over heat source with lid closed. Cook for 1 1/4 to
1 1/2 hours or until skin is well browned.
