Barbecuing

Instead of a pastry brush, use a new 1 1/2-inch wide paintbrush to brush on barbecue sauce and melted butter.
Place charcoal briquettes in leftover cardboard egg cartons and tie them shut. You've got easy-to-light little packages.
Add a delicious flavor to barbecued foods by sprinkling the coals with fresh herbs that have been soaked in water.
Long, straight rosemary branches make great grilling skewers. Strip needles and cut a point on one end.
Warm the basting sauces you use on meat because a cold sauce will slow the cooking.
