I should have watched this before I tried using mine. I was putting paper down in the part that the charcoal goes in and then the charcoal on top of that. That may explain why it took so long. This has been my first time cooking with charcoal. I've always used gas grills. Great advice.
I did exactly the same multiple times before realising! TBH this must be a common mistake for first timers because you would think "the starter material needs to be close to the coals and surely can use the same airflow that the coals are getting and also that you would want to have the starter 'contained' in the chimney". But as everyone else probably realises the starter needs a lot of airflow to ignite the first coals.
I've done this often, with cruched paper towel and oil and it doesn't work well. A couple of fire lighters and WAIT until all the smoke goes away and the WAIT for a while some more and you'll be right, wait until it's all ashed over and you don't get any crap flavour and it's all good.

Wow love this oil hack! Thanks 😊

Used this last night, worked perfect!
Awesome video thank you
Great tips. Thx
I just bought a new grill and chimney starter. Raring to go. Love from kodavaland
Thanks for the tip Martin. I will be trying the oil and paper method this weekend.
Did it work ? And do you need to keep putting new paper towel or does that one peice burn the whole 15-20 minutes ?
@@metinturkozu8364 it works. You only need to use the one piece.
@@metinturkozu8364 use newspaper
Thanks 👍
genuine question why don't you rest the starter on the BBQ grill itself? or is it just prefference? thanks
Yes that is a better way for sure. I rest mine on my additional fuel in my kamado.
You can put on the grill grate where your coals goes.
Brilliant advice. Cheers mate
Have a nice day! 🌹❤✋👍
Good one ☝️
Damn very good method even i saw. You just do very simple.
I buy the dollar store cooking oil, dab a lil oil on a wadded newspaper. You're good to go.
EXCELLENT.PERFECT.THANKS
I wish I would of seen this 20 damn minutes ago hahaha
Thank you very much.
Welcome 😊
nice information. i will try kitchen paper with oil instead old news paper because less smoke then use too much old news paper.
My coals just aren’t staying hot. Takes like 30 minutes to ash over and I’m seeing no flames
This looks doable !
I sit mine on my grill grate and start it

Different strokes for different folks. I have never had any issue with the oil and paper method. ;)
Great performance, now I know it may help me burning tree branches in it
So, what’s in the bucket???
Charcoal
The oil method works too well! Be careful - you don't need many oil soaked paper towels.
