If you have a charcoal grill make sure you pick up some extra charcoal bricks. Cleaning up any other surfaces on your barbecue is also a great idea

You may not even realize it but you will end up spending hours in this special atmosphere. Your backyard just got extra special and any photos you take will look like something out of a movie.
