THE OPENING CEREMONY – LIGHT THE GRILL!

Let the Gwaltney Good Time Games begin! Celebrate with your own “lighting” ceremony by firing up your charcoal grill.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Clean out the grill and remove ash and grease.
2. Determine the amount of charcoal you will need. One layer of charcoal is perfect for Gwaltney Hot Dogs!
3. Pour the charcoal into the grill.
4. Stack the charcoal into a cone or pyramid shape.
5. Pour lighter fluid over the charcoal, using more in the center.
6. Let the fluid sit on the coals for about 30 seconds.
7. Light it with a long match from the bottom on at least two sides.
8. Allow the coals to burn until they are white on the surface.
9. Spread the coals evenly across the coal grate.
10. Close your lid, and wait 5 minutes and start cooking.
