I feel like my dad just taught me how to use a charcoal starter and I’m honestly so grateful

[@TROYCOOKS]

I’m happy if I’ve helped you out Lacey. That’s why I make my videos and I appreciate you watching! Happy grilling!!!

Dads are losers. Female power.

100th like from me :)

[@cosmiclogic78]

My guy!!! Thank you from a lady divorced from a grill master! I was lost! I literally had not used the grill in the 20 years we were married! LOL! Thanks for helping me get this thing started!

[@johnbivins]

A rookie here. She just purchased a new grill and Thanks we just followed your directions it worked exactly! Freaking awesome!

[@adrianburton8394]

I'm not a amateur at Barbecuing, but just bought charcoal chimney and your video really helped me break away from the old methods. Thanks again and I am looking forward to watching more videos😁

[@journey3337]

Thanks Troy, you just taught this millennial how to use a fire starter.

[@Fusion991]

🤦‍♂️

[@ia4687]

Some of us dont have a dad. So we became dad

[@christopherdaigle5818]

Same

[@maliquewilliams86]

Nobody cares fucking millenials you aint special bitch

[@86eastbay]

@@maliquewilliams86 yeah I’m having a hard tine understanding this stupid comment. I’m a MiLlEnIaL but I’m 34, first. And without some stupid label of my generation, I just assumed society’s standards you should be able to use a grill at around 20. My dad is 66. Used a chimney starter once and returned it. He’s old school. Pyramid of coals, lighter fluid, let it soak. 45 mins later we’re eating. Never tasted fluid but I do use a chimney starter to stay incog at my apartment to hide the flames

[@kayak_homie]

Attempting my first smoke today and wasn't sure how to use the charcoal starter, thank you for the help!

[@kevinobrien4166]

That’s a hard thumbs up from one city slicker who is standing in front of a grill for the first time in 3 years - thanks brother!

[@paulat7659]

My world changed the day I discovered the chimney starter! Love the videos, thanks for making them!

[@NOLA_playmaker]

Seriously. Just bought one and it's a god send

[@ray7102]

6 years later and this video is a big help! thank you.

[@carrollmartin1535]

Thank you. I’m 59 years old and have been barbecuing for 40 years and never tried this. Took my young nephew to tell me about it and my first try at this will be this coming Memorial Day. Thanks again!!! 0:30

[@jayegees1554]

Thank you! I got one of these chimney starters and wasn’t sure how to use it and I watched your video and everything turned out absolutely delicious and incredibly good. Thanks again buddy!

[@jj-ne3px]

Great video. Great piece of gear. I cant believe ive gone all these years without the chimney starter.

[@TracyTodd2199]

Same here. Gone all these years using icky fluid. I'm fixing to get me a chimney this week. Its bbq season baby!

[@tiffanywhite2121]

This is exactly why I came here. Im 30 and never started a grill without lighter fluid. Im sick of lighter fluid flavors and smells. Thank you Troy!

[@brivvy]

Big help! Thank you T-Roy!
I never used one before but wanted to try this :) thank you sir!

[@micahclark4092]

Appreciate the patience for absolute newcomers. Mom was always a renter and didn't want to deal with a grill so now I'm learning lol, wish me luck

[@EasyGrilling101]

I loved the video! It's great when experts, help out amateur's or first timers. Like any new subject the basics are so important.

[@lisamcgarvey2496]

My husband just got COVID and was supposed to BBQ tonight, but now can't. I don't want the meat to go to waste so your video saved me. This was soooo helpful. Thank you so much.

[@tampa_sal]

I was considering buying one, now I'm sold. Thanks for the demo.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Great instructional video for using a chimney starter Troy!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Joe :)

[@mannystpeter5349]

Thank you so much for teaching us how to use the chimney starter. You're awesome.. I learned something today. You taught it very well. Thanks so much!!!

[@thebaldchef14]

T Roy I will watch a few more these tutorial videos about barbecue, and I might even get my act together. I always wondered how these charcoal chimney starters worked, about 1, and have actually never use it. Next on my list when I barbecue, at least on the how to use it. Thanks for the information.

[@TROYCOOKS]

+The Bald Chef You should try to broaden your horizons Glen. Fire up a charcoal grill and do some outdoor cooking. The flavors are so much better than what you can get from a gas grill. Holler at me if you have any questions or need some tips!!!

[@hudausman6787]

Loved it! Thanks for making this informative video! Our BBQ was ready to go in 20mins. You earned yourself a new subscriber.

[@janejordan4509]

Thanks, I needed the full tutorial.

[@nicholashess1131]

Thank you! found this upon searching. just picked up my first grill.

[@abes2758]

Thanks so much for sharing, I’m a female and wanted to learn how to light a charcoal bbq, I love that charcoal flavour. Thank you so much ♥️

[@josephbarlow4073]

Great presentation - thanks for showing me how to use the charcoal chimney!

[@champagneben]

EXCELLENT TIPS HERE MY BROTHER!!!!! JUST IN TIME FOR THE 4TH

[@marcieyates948]

Thank you...looks so much simpler than what I've been trying with not much success. Last time my son ended up making a torch by lighting up cooking spray from the can...so dangerous! Thank you for sharing a much better(safer) way!!😂

[@arazel2000]

Great tips, you have already solved my problems with my BBQ. Thanks again. In your honer, I'm making BBQ for my family this weekend.

[@cathum]

Awesome demo, thank you; never done it before. I’ll give it a shot.

[@akonvict]

4:36 "Anything with some heat", ok I got a few fire ass mixtapes, can I use those?

[@TROYCOOKS]

+Alweezy Yeah, go for it!!! LOL

[@Adrian-jb7wv]

Hahaha

[@RXBVRY]

I'm dead af💀💀😂

[@tonyray449]

I would just use you mixtapes to cook

[@ryzen89]

I'd say putting those in a fire, would be a brilliant idea.

[@NDRAMSMOOTH]

Thank you sir, very very informative.

[@LisaGonzalez-rm1lr]

Thank you troy this works great. Failed the first time but put paper into tight but put it loosely next got me some hot coals. Love it!

[@Vic-zp5ft]

Thanks man . Rookie here and was using that lighter fluid and after watching this . Never more super easy. Just ordered one one ebay. Thanks

[@_wimza_7983]

Coming in handy from the UK on the one day of sun we get. Thanks for saving the evening

[@4ChristinaRenee]

Thank you, love the extra information too!

[@JerryEledge]

Great video! Everything was very clear; you took the guesswork out of it. Thank You!

[@rhdtv2002]

I like your energy...you really enjoy doing this

[@teddybencomojr9928]

Awesome video, thanks!!! Just bought a chimney, gonna try it out now!!

[@ndogata]

Thanks for the time and effort in making this - really good. Thank you.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Happy to help Dave. Glad you enjoyed the video!!!

[@COJAZZ3]

Bought me one and I love it!

[@MrTcp01]

Great video mate!
Thank you

[@jayrhough1912]

Great video. Thank you.

[@jordangnipp3690]

I mean, I appreciated the break down of the chimney and how he gave actual tips on how you can use those design specs for different methods. That was literally the whole point of those few minutes yet it flew over the short attention spanners.

[@bradleymack4583]

Just got my first smoker this morning. Great video. Going to scoop up a chimney starter.

[@mbreland25]

I would be a rookie, watching your video I'm confident enough to try this in my own. Just ordered a chimney off Amazon.

[@4theloveofgaming531]

Thanks a lot. Ive been using a fire starter for years now. But was doing it all wrong. Thanks for the tips!

[@arturo2181990]

Thank you for the tips. Much appreciated.

[@mariemcgee4981]

Great Detailed Instructions Thank you

[@Hubbabubaa]

Thanks T-Roy. I'm buying a chimney today for my Easter BBQ with my little family tomorrow. Can't wait to try it. Happy Easter y'all

[@Hubbabubaa]

I bought it. It heat up the briquettes so fast, I'l be having bbqs more often. It's amazing.

[@LizBezzy]

Thank you for this video including the first 5 mins!

[@dandeleona4760]

Useful intro. I WANTED the construction explanation first so I could put together the science of flame in using this piece of equipment. Other people want to cut to the chase and that's fine too.
Actually, I'm going to use the chimney for a repurpose so the full explanation was extremely useful. Thanks! Good job! :)

[@jjdark8969]

You, sir, are a godsend. I used a charcoal chimney for the first time after watching your video and it is way better than lighter fluid.

[@therealsheikh]

Thanks for the demo!

[@AntonioCavicchioni]

Good tips and good blues music...

[@lahessler80]

Definitely nice to know since I'm at home with shelter in place. My husband is an essential worker, working 6 to 7 days a week. Nice to know I can grill no matter if he is at home or not.

[@unaffected_covid]

Very helpful. Thank you, sir.

[@susanc-c7817]

Hello from Ireland, we are totally new to BBQ and we found this video very useful thank you!

[@rickbachman993]

Thanks T Roy, that's all I ever use. Nice Wichita by the way. Have a happy and safe Independence day.!!

[@joyadams507]

Thank you for the video!!

[@janeormrod3229]

With my chimney and my li'l Smokey Joe grill, I have had some awsome camping meals with my family. Thanks T-Roy, for your valuable tips.Freedom from that horrible fluid equals excellence!!

[@tangojoe9694]

Right on Troy.
These are indispensable tools for anyone who wants to do charcoal right.
They do last for years, and even so I am on my third one!

[@TROYCOOKS]

+Tango Joe Mine is about 3 years old and still works great even after using it just about every weekend!! Happy cooking Joe!!! Thanks brother!

[@xica225]

Great tutorial, Troy! We're big fans of using chimney starters too.

[@TROYCOOKS]

+LobelsOfNewYork Thank you very much!!! Always great to hear from my Lobel's family!!!! Fire up the pit and get that smoke rollin'!!!!

[@andresfd89]

Thanks for this!!

[@Duncan55Watson]

Nice work mate. This helps a ton.

[@christophernelson6792]

Thank you for this video T Roy! Last year was the first full season I could bbq, and I was struggling with my charcoal, using lighter fluid. When the charcoal was ready, the heat wasn’t balanced, one side cold and the other side hot. I did the triangle method, letting my charcoal soak for about 5 minuets, but it was always a struggle. I considered buying a charcoal chimney, and I looked up videos here, and watched this video last night.
Needless to say, I bought a charcoal chimney today, and the charcoal was the hottest I ever had it.
This video helped, and I wanted to thank you!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Christopher, I'm thrilled that this video helped you. One of my fans actually asked me to make this video because he was struggling also. I appreciate you watching and thanks for the kind words!!! Keep that smoke rollin' brother!! Cheers!!!!

[@christophernelson6792]

Yes sir. I plan on keeping the smoke rolling!

[@nasraziz2011]
