   Serve this with a Thai sweet/hot chili sauce.
2. 2
   Make a fire, preferably with firewood or Mexican charcoal, started from paper and kindling.
3. 3
   Skewer the squid.
4. 4
   When coals are red hot, barbecue the rings for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they are brown.
5. 5
   Some recipes for grilled squid suggest marinating them.
6. 6
   Serve hot with lemon-garlic butter.
7. 7
   NOTE: Commercial charcoal and lighter fluid are petroleum products.
8. 8
   They impart an oily flavor to food.
9. 9
   Hardwood, or Mexican charcoal, a commercial product, which is made by burning down mesquite, both give a nice flavor and are certainly less toxic than petrochemicals.
