All, Bill Baxley had his K4 at Dan Liebowitz' a couple of Saturday's ago. I was watching him light the burner and was very impressed by what I saw. He opened the smokebox door and lit the gas. Then, without hesitation, closed the door. That part peaked my attention as I know they aren't that easy to light. Out of nowhere he produced a rubber bulb. Sealing the orifice end of the bulb against the smokestack, he gave a quick squeeze. With a "whoosh", the fire jumped back and settled on the burner with that satisfying sound. Clever guy... (I hope that wasn't a patented maneuver Bill!)
The rubber bulb is a Radio Shack "Solder Sucker", normally used for removing excess solder from circuit boards. Any similar implement should work as well. Michael Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
