First time doing a bbq!

Couple of pages of newspaper rolled up and stuck underneath should do the job. If you must use firelighters, get the wood wool ones, not the nasty white chemical blocks that make your food taste like cancer.

If you're pushed for time, I've found sticking the chimney on a camping stove and blasting it gets the charcoal going in a few minutes!

BBQ is mostly about temperature control (as is all cooking), the general rule is that the larger something is, the lower the heat it needs.

Buy a chimney starter.
Buy some natural firelighters.
Buy good charcoal.
Put a couple of the firelighters on the grill.
Light them.
Put the chimney on top.
Wait till it looks all hot.
Pour the charcoal into HALF of the bottom.
Sear your meat above the coals (keep a close eye on it)
Move it to the other side to finish with the lid on.

Something like that :D

You forgot the most important step, clicking the tongues together 3 times at regular intervals will boost the flavour of the food and also boost your masculinity

It's ok this should make up for it. We did a hog roast last year for 40+ people, it was amazing! Took forever to cook though - I started at 7am!!

Locally sourced - probably fed the little blighter too :o

Because it's such a basic question to ask in Google.

The op couldn't even do a search on this forum to find out that there is a dedicated BBQ thread...

You what, you are right.

How dare they ask a question on a forum and not even bother doing a search first.
I really hope they burn their sausages now....

I live in Birmingham, no trees round here (unless you count the plants the locals tend to grow in their attics :p)
 
I think BBQs are one of those things where men like to go full ‘prosumer’ - like with shaving, footwear and other such things. You really don’t need a fancy bbq or tools to do a bbq :o :p

2/3 insta-light bags in a mid sized circular bbq. Light, leave for 30 mins, cook. Done.
