Dads, want to improve the food you can cook on your BBQ?
Drill holes in the bottom of it and build a chimny from an old cardboard tube from the middle of a carpet in a vain attempt to improve air circulation.

If done right, this should work...
Unless you don't prop the coals up and clog the holes and your tube catches fire, blows away and burns down several houses in your street.
