BARBECUE CHECKLIST
Excerpt from: Barbecues 101 by Rick Rodgers

If the barbecue is to be away from home, think ahead about what you might need. Some of these things might be considered handy and nice to have -- or they might be essential, depending on the circumstances.

- Menu - check off items as you pack them; don't forget additional ingredients for reseasoning salads.
- Frozen thermal gel-packs - freeze plenty the night before or purchase them.
- Ice cubes -- if using, make the night before
- Plates
- Forks, knives, spoons
- Plastic glasses
- Seving dishes
- Serving utensils
- Tablecloth and/or picnic blanket
- Napkins
- Serrated knife and cutting board (always comes in handy)
- A wet sponge in a plastic bag for cleanup.
- Premoistened hand towelettes or sanitizing hand cleaner
- Paper towels
- Plastic wrap for leftovers
- Plastic garbage bags for easy cleanup
- Cushions or foldable chairs
- Portable radio or CD players with CDs - check the batteries
- Sunscreen
- Insect repellant
- First-aid kit for cut fingers or burns
- Charcoal grill (bring one even if the park supplies them, just in case all the grills are in use when you arrive)
- Charcoal - be sure to have enough
- Matches
- Kindling for grill (newspaper or chimney starter)
