Chris' Rules for a BBQ

Any male not capable of running the grill will be banished to child watching duty.

Ketchup is always acceptable on hot dogs and burgers. Always.

Beer coolers are never used by adults. They are used by 16 year olds trying to hide their beer. Exceptions granted at the beach.

Grill tools should be safely stored in the kitchen or garage. Leaving them at the grill causes rust.

Cats are never welcome. Dogs have first dibs on all dropped food.

Any steak beyond medium is burnt.

Any game is acceptable as a long as the host works drinking into the rules.

Tiki torches don’t ward off insects or evil spirits. Chemical insect protection is a must.

There is no such thing as kickoff beer. There is good beer and bad beer. People that serve bad beer are either cheap, or have no taste.

Alton Brown said charcoal is better. End of argument.
