    Oh my gosh, this was SO HELPFUL! I have never grilled before. I bought a small portable Weber tabletop grill to take camping. I also bought a 2 pounds bag of Kingsford Easy Light bag of charcoal. I didn't know how to use it but wanted something easy since I'm a newbie. This video was so helpful, you showed me step by step what to do and why to do it that way. Also you told and showed me what it's supposed to look like. Thank you so much!

  • @christopherkalble4373
    @christopherkalble4373 11 месяцев назад

    Spraying the newspaper with cooking oil helps keep the newspaper burning longer in a chimney starter. My Boy Scout troop used crumbled up newspaper that was dipped in cooking oil. Then the charcoal was piled on and lite. As long as the charcoal gets hot. It will eventually turn to ash. It's made to burn slowly.
    Trivia: After buying over 300,000 acres of land, Ford tried to be careful about reducing and reusing waste from these factories. The wood scraps from the Kingsford location were eventually converted into charcoal briquettes. These charcoal briquettes were made up of collected, dried, and burned in retorts.

    That's a great starter video. Charcoals that are not easy light I tend to have as much as the first set you used. Sometimes a spurt if a couple time after the initial light til I see the white edges then I'll let it die out. I think the biggest danger with adding more is if you do it after the flame goes out it releases fumes and can combust as it did in your video so if you add more after it goes out I light a paper and drop it instead of hand lighting. Charcoal chimney is the best method especially for lump. A great way to make a starter is with cardboard egg cartons some dryer lint and unscented candle wax. They burn for like 10 minutes and will get any fire started.

      Use vegetable oil. No smell, no taste. Burns hot and really gets the charcoal going.

      @@pharmhound68 I use it if I'm out of lighter fluid. Lighter fluid doesn't have a taste as long as you get the coals ashy. Best way imo is a chimney and use lump. I grill a lot so it saves a lot of money when used a couple times a week.

    Try using vegetable oil. Takes a little time to get it lit, it's kindling temperature is high, but it burns slow, gets the charcoal going and has no foul odor or taste.

    the chimney way - does it help to fan some airflow ?

    • @aviatorque6905
      @aviatorque6905  3 года назад

      It wouldn't hurt, but its not required. Once it gets going it drawls air like a house chimney. there is a company out there called BBQ Dragon that makes something called a inferno chimney and they make a small fan that blows air directly into it. suppose to make lighting super fast ...but its also close to $70 dollars. Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks for watching

    • @aviatorque6905
      @aviatorque6905  3 года назад +1

      absolutely, Definitely wait till all the charcoal is lit and lighter fluid is burnt off. I did a video a while back of using chips and chunks (link below). If you don't have the equipment i use in the video you can make a foil back of the chips and punch some holes in it. thanks for watching

      I used the "Kingsford Easy Light Bag. the whole thing is designed to be a one time use. If you are looking for the same easy to light briquettes Kingsford also makes a product called "Match Light" . its the same product but in a bigger bag that you could use as little or as much as needed
