Tales of Monkey Island Hints
How do I fire up the barbecue?
1 of 7: You're going to need two things: a source of heat, and a way to control the temperature.
2 of 7: The source of heat can be found on Spinner Cay. Remember those coals you found when you rescued Elaine? But you need something to carry them in.
3 of 7: If you don't have a bucket in your inventory, go up to the bait shop and you'll find one sitting there. Use the bucket on the coals to pick them up.
4 of 7: Okay, now you need something to turn up the heat on the coals. Think bizarre modern anachronism here.
5 of 7: Like the chieftan's hot tub.
6 of 7: Now that the chieftan is gone, go up to the royal chamber and take the controls from the hot tub.
7 of 7: Go back to Spoon Isle, return to the barbecue, and use both items (coals and controls) on it.
