  • Lighting the coals is easy when you know the basics. Fire is contagious. Keeping the briquets close together will help the fire spread from coal to coal easily so they’re ready to use faster.

    Match light for the win! Best charcoal and last longer than any other kind I’ve used (Kingsford is the best.)

    When the fire settles after few minutes and the charcoal is still black ,does it mean that it needs more light or should I just leave it as the charcoal would still be burning ?

    I messed up. I put the meat on the grill way too early. Realistically doing the lighter fluid method it took almost 45mins-hour for the charcoal to ash

    Lol kingsford is thd best charcoal but you do not light immediately after pooring fluid on the coals, you wait 3-5 min.

      Dave S I tried waiting 4 and 5 minutes and it didn't work. The back of the Kingsford Odorless lighter fluid said "light immidiately" which did work. Next time I will try the Charcoal Chimney method.

    Despite this video. Kingsford continues to not light, despite the use of various forms of neutral to semi explosive/rapid burning accelerants. Guess they changed their formula, their average Joe consumer briquettes will not ignite at any god damned altitude with anything be it, lighter fluid, kerosene, diesel fuel, solidified ethylene, napalm etc... all while considering local current wind and weather patterns and adjusting for such events... guess its time to give my money to local coal distributors who have sold tons of coal to thousands who heat their homes with coal and invested in multiple local mining sites which apparently have no issue providing coal which burns at 5300' whatsoever.
    If you're above sea level. Don't buy kingsford, buy from a local miner and supplier. This shit sucks anymore above 100 feet apparently.... wouldn't use it for god damned kitty litter let alone any type of fuel.
    Long story short: Id rather use it for packing my driveway than trying to depend on it for heat...

      @@ChaseWalling I'd say so, you can buy regular charcoal (not match light) and use newspaper. No need for starting fluid or anything else. I don't think it's any faster than matchlight or starting fluid, but it's cheaper in the long run since you can just use newspaper, junk mail, whatever, to light the charcoal.

    I have a question, when you use the lighter fluid method or the match light method, there isnt supposed to be smoke when the charcoal burns right ?

    • @genericwhitemale1114
      @genericwhitemale1114 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is supposed to be smoke. It's a fire. If yours isn't smoking then it's not lit properly. Build a pyramid or one as best you can, put lighter fluid on it, especially on the sides, squirt some in the holes between some of the briquettes and then light it. KEEP THE LID OFF until the briquettes are ashed over. Some of them wont ash over but if you used enough charcoal, it'll be fine as long as like 90% of them are ashed over. Put your grate in the grill, close the lid, wait for about 10 minutes and then you can add your food on there. It should sizzle. If it doesn't on contact, take it off and try to restart. Make sure if you do, you aren't going to burn anything with the charcoal as it's hot. Like really hot even if it's still black, it's hot. Don't be afraid to ask a neighbor. Most older men know how to charcoal grill and would love to help someone who's learning.
