If only everyone knew that this is the ultimate trick to lighting a charcoal grill…

Anyone else think she’s got really great hair? I mean, yeah, she can do some serious grilling and all that junk and that’s great. But I gotta say, she’s got really great hair

I always consider my Kingsford briquette coals to be ready in the chimney when the gray smoke stops and the chimney only flames. I cook 99% of the time with a Slow N Sear, so one large Weber chimney filled to the top is prefect for grilling and searing.

It's amazing what you can use to light those coals in the chimney. I've used potato chips, Doritos, Cheetos, and paper towels dipped in vegetable oil. I never use newspaper, it gets too ashy in my opinion.

Thank you!! I agree with the ashed-over charcoals.
My indicator is when the coals stop smoking heavily. That’s when I dump the coals and start prepping the grates.

Thank you so much for the straightforward answer. Im trying to light a charcoal chimney with briquettes and it seems to be taking forecer, but it makes sense that it will catch itself very soon.

I use a propane weed burner. Takes 2 minutes to go from cold coals to hot gray coals.

[mannyalali]

Heat gun or loftlighter are great option for lighting you coals

Is it possible to use the chimney starter like a rocket stove?

[ManiacMeats]

I knew it! I hate waiting until they ash over, per instructions on back, because it's already reduced in size. Although, I do know that too soon makes the heat pretty uneven with hot spots forcing me to constantly move my food around to prevent it for burning.

Real BBQ is a piece of meat and a fire 🔥. Pellet smokers, liquid smoke, heating elements, and gas grills are considered fighting words.

[josephbrandt]

Yup it works I built one out of a piece of stove pipe...😁👍

i just put news paper in the bottom of the i see lighter fluid at a cookout(unless you like the taste of lighter fluid), i always snicker inside, only kingsford!

What keeps me away is getting scarred from the burning embers

[DanielMorozoffMusic]

It shouldn’t be called lighter fluid. It should be called looser fluid. Chimney is the way to go 100%

[Chrisking]

Thank you for this and what a beauty you are

[csmats]

Charcoal lighter fluid is easier and just as effective.

[scottrichard]

And here is me with a pellet grill, and i just plug it in and turn the knob to cook.

[danielkinney]

Briquettes and a fire starter cube? You don't know how to correctly light it or use it. Nasty.

Your husband and your dad have failed you
