I don't know what I am doing, I finished my science exam today and have my IT exam tomorrow and I am watching *Grilling Videos*
its saturday tomorrow
Worth Watching it's Saturday tomorrow
I have school on Saturdays too.
Worth Watching it's still Saturday

1. Hot dogs straight from the package are already cooked all the way through.
2. That is nowhere near enough charcoal to barbecue anything substantial.
3. How is this any easier than using a charcoal chimney? (and with a charcoal chimney you actually get enough charcoal to get the barbecue hot enough)
Also 30 minutes to heat up hotdogs seems extreme..
Im like "Grant those hot dogs were already cooked bud" 😂
and it takes longer
Kevin Sanders Well Ok Buy The Hotdogs You Mentioned And Eat It Straight Up Even Not Cooked Heated Lets See What Your Face Will You Look Like If U Made The Challenge And If I Was There I Will put A Roast On You And Upload It
i used to eat raw hotdogs all the time when i was young...
Hi Grant can you try and see what happens if you put cake mix in vacuum and get the bubbles out,how would the baked Cake look?
PieRios yes please do this grant
Yeah that would be cool!!
Do this!
Like a cookie.
Well, considering cake batter is mostly water, it'll bubble for a long time as the water boils off. Most of the "air bubbles" in cakes are actually caused by steam and CO2 generated during the cooking process, not from air trapped in the batter. Would still be interesting to see what effect it might have, though.
Wait, did he say We-ber? I've always said Web-er...
Doesn't matter, though
We Three Bros it's web-er
He pronounced it very wrong
but it does, bad english!
Doesn't matter if it is pronounced We-ber in some countries when spelled the same. The name of the company is pronounced Web-er
Is powdered charcoal (if you take charcoal and crush it into powder) flammable, and can it be used to make fire starting bundles?
no, not that I know of at least
If you're going to be storing bundles, just get some fatwood.
It obviously is flammable but not so much it's surface area is huge so it burns so quickly that it almost seams like it doesn't even burn.
Grant, please could you try and make your own carbonated drinks using dry ice?
Looks like this is going to be his next project!
HEY !! printed paper fumes and fireworks fumes toxic if inhales won't they be toxic if their fumes stick on the food
King Yoshi Great idea
As mentioned it's kind of a mainstream thing to do. Much quicker and easier to just buy soda water and add your own flavoring.
MidnightMarrow I have already acknowledged that it can be done. But it'd still be something different to see, and maybe Grant may even be able to create his own new type of fizzy drinks.
GRANT! Take the old lab coat and make the whole thing into flash cotton! King of Random Style man!
magic wizard man and probably light it while wearing it
Decent idea, but a $5 chimney starter is faster, reusable, and more consistent. This is a lifehack to a problem that doesn't need a solution IMO. It's like all the other "firestarter" ideas like gasoline soaked lint, mothballs+petroleum jelly, sawdust and toenail clippings and whatever else people come up with. Meanwhile, regular folks have a chimney starter from any hardware store and a few pieces of junk mail to help light the fire...
Happymrsnowman I'm happy someone mentioned this, just depressed it's so far down in the comments, it takes the same amount of time to get things started but it lights much more charcoal much more evenly
Or just use charcoal lighter fluid.
Only real bbq man use chimney starter, other use meh and toxic lighter fluid
But nobody will use this "life hack", sorry Grant Thompson not your best
We used to splash meythlated spirits on it. Worked great.
I would like to know where you can get a chimney starter for $5 I got mine at Walmart and it was $10
Make glass from scratch!!!!!!
Followed by Stained Glass for The Church Of Random!
pleas do it
or you could buy a chimney for your charcoal that isn't 1 time use and much more effective
I was thinking the same thing and light more charcoal.
Slightly crunched empty egg cartons are great for starting a charcoal chimney.
As I empty the bag of charcoal into my chimney, I actually just rip off the sections of the emptied bag... that way, the whole bag is used!!
He probably hasn't used a charcoal grill before. Notice how he put the coals underneath the bottom grate.
Harrison Harrison Or you could just buy instant light charcoal that can light off with a piece of paper
Can you do casting with molten glass??
Joshua Hobbs that would be cool
I think glass is to sticky and it doesn't flow like metal so idk if it will work
Joshua Hobbs glass is probably to dense.
you need a special oven to make sure it doesn't crack or break
I think 'casting' with glass is a bad idea.
Can you cook eggs in your arc furnace?
ItsHearYouYt hard burned egg
or melt tungsten?
He can melt them in there
I mean, he can incinerate eggs. I'm not sure about cooking.
ItsHearYouYt hilarious
The only TH-camr whose simple life hacks are still "Simple".
Who's that only youtuber? Send me over a link.
james pogrebetsky savage
Mueed This isn't simple, too hard for me
Haven't you seen Mr. Gear's hot glue hacks?
One of them was gluing a rug to the floor so it doesn't move around. Doesn't get much more simple than that.
Hey Grant, what my son and the other boys in their boy scout troop do is use those egg cartons but fill them up with lint from the dryer and then melt some wax into the different egg compartments. A six-pack of eggs, some lint, and some wax make 6 great fire starters. Try it out!
I always pronounced it "Weber" Like a spider web. Never heard it pronounced Weeber grill. I never stopped a video so fast and watched a portion of a video so fast in my life. Grant, I will now pronounce Weber as Weeber for the rest of my life.
There are two types of life hacks:
1. Mr Gear's "Life Hacks"
2. Real Life Hacks
Spxctator ITS TRUE
Spxctator u r right FAKE
just use one of those charcoal igniters
right who has this stuff
Spxctator ตน
try making fireworks from scratch
Zachary Kokot its just a rocket with different kinds of metals that burn
make a lava lamp!!
Don't think that's gonna happen since lava is not easy toch come by :/
You better be kidding
Dean that's A HUGE EEEEEE NECK ✋
*daan
Gnats50 I agree
Just get a charcoal chimney... reusable and starts quickly without lighter fluid
Yes I agree 'get a chimney'. Always works with newspaper and a few bits of wood such as old chopsticks. However in damp weather I do sometimes struggle hence use other starter methods, with the chimney, during winter.
Hey!!!!.....My brother studies in University of Alberta..........He said that the professor there makes students see your experiments....... because u explain all the experiments very well.......
next up
use lighter fluid to make a fire
you aint a true grill master till you grill in december
In MIchigan
Justin Martin I think you mean savage.. not grill master
Let's see you making a grill while it's snowing outside at -5°C (that's around 23°F for you Americans out there)
does that apply in Georgia?
MrBiky I do that pretty often
Make glass from scratch
don't be that guy that Steels ideas from other channels and Posts them under another Video
*steals
CakeKing People have been making glass way before you tubers have been showing how they make it.Don't act like that specific youtuber invented the idea of making it.
Funny thing is I've never seen a package of hot dogs that didn't say "Precooked" in some way. Yet he's quite pleased that he cooked hot dogs.
Now this is what you call a lit video.
yeah can you try putting molten glass in liquid nitrogen
carsandwater did that kinda recently.
noone :p The glass will powder itself
That... sounds awesome.
Prince ruperts drops?
Taylor Robinson Prince Rupert's drops work because water has a very high specific heat so it can absorb a lot of energy from the molten glass without changing temperature very much. Liquid nitrogen has a low specific heat but it is so cold that the glass instead of cooling at different rates will just dump energy the molecules will attempt to align and the silica will powder.
Why does it look like he is wearing makeup
JaHe 123 Ikr
JaHe 123 maybe his is , people on camera usually are.
he might be, he has really strong lighting in the inside of his house so makeup might be needed so he looks more appealing to the camera
Make a glass pokeball please
Grant Thompson - "The King Of Random" Road to 8 Million. 😄
You deserve it. Keep on! 👌
Against the ney sayers, I liked this video. Informative and even in the end, you call it an "experiment". Not all 'Life Hacks' are to just make doing things faster. But a lot of Life Hacks make doing what you want to do cleaner and healthier. And this falls into that category. Someone mentioned putting "lighter fluid" on the coals. Yes, that can work, however, it's not 100% guaranteed to work; sometimes you have to do it a 2nd time. And, it's petroleum based, which is not natural for your body; and can even cause other problems, not to mention potential odd tasting food. This Life Hack makes starting a charcoal fire much cleaner and healthier. Also, to note, had Grant added some more coal to the 6 that were already there, the hot dogs would of cooked "much" faster. But he was showing a proof of concept, not speed. Two Thumbs Up Grant!!! Keep 'em coming!
Hey grant, could you try to make real true espresso manually or by some easy way? People say small devices like the Aeropress can make espresso, but technically, you can't because you need about 130psi of pressure to force water through coffee grinds to make that espresso and the amount of force needed to do that is not possible by just using your hands. I saw this one guy on youtube basically build a big lever to create that huge amount of force to make the espresso. I know there's also some manual espresso machines out there, but they're like hundreds of dollars still. Could you try to find a more efficient way?
You wouldn't need this life hack if you would use propane...hi hank hill here and let me tell ya bout propane
Hank Hill, do you know where I could buy some propane and propane accessories?
antiisocial depends on where you live dir
I live in Garland, TX
antiisocial Lowe's has them
What about Strickland Propane over in Arlen? Heard they have very reasonable prices there..😅
Grant, you should make a homemade Van de Graaff generator (static electricity generator). So many cool things to do with one of those!
Couple of points just off the top of my head:
1) 6 charcoal briquettes? That's all you used?
2) I'd like to see you do a juice can hack (the big ones) to make a chimney style charcoal starter.
3) Check to see if hotdogs are done with a thermometer 165F (74C)
I love little diy projects like this ❤
Try making a chainreaction of bullets to see if a bullet can trigger another bullet!
Yes. It can.
Xvinfajtr tell that yo demolition ranch
heck yea
Hassan Rafiq demo ranch already did that he did it along ago
make a dang telescope
Who remembers mikehacks
Me
Crafting Destroyer me
Me
Only ogs
who else misses these type of projects?
Stick a small chunk of a candle, such as the end part, in each hole, UNDER the charcoal, and it'll light even better. Can also crumble a lighter cube into the box.
love ur. vids
thanks for the ❤i never got a you tuber to like my coment thank u
here's a hack, cut the 12 egg carton in half.
how to make homemade liquid nitrogen? :)
He said there will be a tutorial soon... But he already did a video on an other channel.
the problem with this is that you can only do 12 eggs max. My bbq grill requires at least 30 coals to cook a few steaks, hamburgers, and hotdogs at the same time.
If you add some old candle wax into the egg cartons, it slows down the burn and can make it even better. Unscented is ideal, but scented isn't too bad since it's the remnants of old candles usually.
weeeber grill? or Weber Grill lol
what happens if you mix oobleck and liquid nitrogen together or make glow in the dark oobleck
Is there a way to add a scent or flavor to this fire starter thing?
alaska nice throw some wood chips in with it
Or potato chips. 🍟
Use plastic
alaska nice blow it up
I had best results igniting a grill using a simple tea light. The wax melts away and coats the coal and because it burns really hot and slow is capable of starting your grill. You can use some paper at the bottom, charcoal, and some tea lights on top of it or in between, light up the paper, the fire will melt and ignite the wax, and the wax will start up the charcoal. Grant could do a great experiment with it.
An easier way would be to put however much charcoal you want in your grill. Spray it with some lighter fluid and let that sit for about a minute. Then just touch a flame to it and your cooking
Drop molten glass into liquid nitrogen!!!
Do a sun cooking video
30 minutes for a hot dog.. I think he just did.
I'm actually quite interested in sun cooking. Especially sun ovens, since they are like "place and forget" and come back after 5-6 hours, meal is cooked.
When I visited St George a year ago, I stopped at Smith's market next to the hardware store and had a ready made deli sandwich.....I threw up all night after eating it. Nice store, but I no longer trust the deli. LOL
You have taught me a lot about fire.
YOU ARE AWSOME!!!🔥⚡️💥🔥⚡️💥🔥⚡️💥🔥⚡️💥
this summer is going to be lit like those charcoal fire starters
"12 pack of eggs" its a dozen eggs..... d o z e n
notified for this video yes. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
same
Why not use lighter fluid?
also its meant as a possible alternative to buying lighter fluid if you already have egg boxes lying around
KXNG WARz that works great if you don't mind your food tasting like a Chemical cesspool
You get lighter fluid taste when you use it.
Adequate Bros. you have probably been eating food that tastes like lighter fluid for so long you probably don't even notice it anymore
taste liek coals? lol how much bbqing do u actually do? sounds like u messed up once or twice lol.. ive done everything instant coals, briquettes, wood charcoal, smoked my meat. its all the same. little different flavor because thats why you bbq or smoke you WANT that flavor there.. if youre tasting poison youre doing it wrong
Hi Grant , even simpler way is just use old news paper. Just put charcoal middle of a news paper and pack it .Once u have a little red spot on the charcoal use hot hair dryer to get it to spread . Simple enough I believe
Simple but awesomely useful.
No-name ketchup? You monster.
ketchup on a hot dog... You Monster!
Tom Z Indeed
ha
I thought this was a video about tkor branded c4
When are we getting our t shirts
The King of random is The king of random
Grant the same egg carton melted wax and dryer lint work great to. That is what we would teach our scouts to use out in the woods.
Perfect hack for grill season!
King of random fidget spinners
Mr Grant I have a suggestion for your next project.
Make a rocket launcher with those sugar rockets
Like a large PVC tube and inside it insert the sugar rocket , aim and fire ...
Make different warheads like explode on impact , smoke missile , letter carrying messenger missile etc . MUST DO
Grilling hack with a hairdryer:
Single sheet of newspaper loosely crinkled. Put in grill and cover with charcoal. Ignite paper in several spots. Aim hairdryer at burning paper.
A hairdryer is the single most important tool in my grill toolbox. I use it to blow off ashes before I put the paper in. It lets me re-use charcoal. It blows out the pieces too tiny to grill with. Of course you can't use it for hair after you dedicate it to hair, but I like to root around in the bottom of my grill with it to get all the dust out.
Grant thompson - What will happen if you mix the Thunder Cap mix and your homemade black powder?
THIS VIDEO IS LIT AF...
Why
"Wee-Ber"? Knock off of Weber?
Or you could just use lighter fluid to start them.
I always just saved grease and used that to get the grill started. Bacon fat or old frying oil on a piece of newspaper or cardboard works great.
Watching that fuse burn down it looked like it was going to explode 💣💥
Or you could get some lighter fluid ...
uh i could just use lighter fluid
You should make figet spinners that catch fire easily but the plastic won't melt
Nice! I use a small gas torch and a fan to get it going. It takes like 5 minutes from cold to ready for grilling, that way :) Maybe I will put a video of that later.
This looks awesome I know what I'm doing with the next spare egg carton!!
You should put Coca Cola in you vacuum chamber and see what happens. Like so he can see this
ever wondered why briquettes are so much heavier for the same size bag as lump charcoal?🤔 they are mixed with silica sand... you're buying sand 🌝 , the sand "filler" is used for heat retention (refractory effect).
Lay a line of sparklers on the coal grate, cover with lumpwood charcoal, leave one end exposed, light the end with another sparkler...et viola, the kids love this 😎
Grant this project was lit 🔥
The other day I learned by reading the bag of BBQ coal that the coals are actually meant to sit on top on the smaller grill to allow better air flow and it creates a compartment underneath to allow the ash to drop down. But you have placed the small grill on top of the coal just like I always have which actually makes no sense at all.
Pretty cool! Reminds me of something we'd make back when I was a boy scout. By the by, that timelapse at the end was dope. I'd be interesting in seeing more like it.
If you want the flame to be more persistent, try putting a couple teaspoons of vegetable oil in the egg carton chambers and let it soak in. It will act like a candle and burn much longer so you can pile more briquettes on top of your starter package. Any fat or oil will do, even butter or margarine! Using a food based oil will prevent most of the harmful and noxious elements present in petroleum based starters.
great idea!
Another thing you can use in place of paper is something everyone can get access to: dryer lint. lights fast but burns long so it can easily catch the egg carton and keep it burning. I use to live on a farm and that's how we would burn off burnable trash.
It's lit in here fam
brazillian hack to light a barbecue op. Make a pile with the charcoal, make a cone with a paper towel, put it in the middle of the charcoal pile, with the open side up, fill it with coocking oil half way up, light it up and have a nice barbecue!
If you incorporate a little Birch tree bark and a little pine sap it will smell great and also be waterproof allowing an easy way to start a fire even with wind and rain ( or damp charcoal ) - perfect for camping X
I don't understand how this would be cheaper, easier, or more convenient than just a charcoal chimney or even just a blowtorch
Hey Grant, the coals go on the lower grate. so they are not sitting in the bottom getting no air, then the air flows up and gets them hot. hot dogs should cook in about three minutes
Save your dryer lint. Pack into your egg carton bottom. Embed your briquette in the lint, add more lint. Weave firework fuse through the pack around the briquettes, and more lint on top. Then pour melted wax over the lint/ briquettes. When cooled, light it off.
You should do some sort of glass blowing project. Maybe melt marbles in the arc furnace
U should make an upgraded fire starter using the samething you used in this video but add pyro paint to make start up really fast
guys what video did grant post teaching us how to use carpenter grade silicon for food?
Its EGGxtremely flammable! XD 😂
this is a lot of hard work you can light full bbq in last time
