    Omg...this was soooo helpful. I never let the coals soak before lighting the coals. I wasted so much lighter fluid because i would light the charcoals right after puring the lighter fluid, ugh. Thank you for the video!

    I know this is an old video, but I STOPPED using lighter fluid or veggie oils long ago. I use denatured alcohol which is way cheap and super effective, especially when soaked into paper under the chimmney. Very fast start, no odor at any time. Only drawback I see is that the alcohol flame is nearly invisible and you can get burned thinking there is no flame present.

  • @othonieledh
    @othonieledh 4 года назад +5

    First time I tried it took me forever to get the coals to catch. I kept pouring lighter fluid on it every time the coals were about to go out and I would just get huge flames. Then I bought a chimney starter at Walmart for like $16 bucks and it makes the biggest difference!!

    I used to use lighter fluid. It always left a funny taste to the food. Once I discovered the chimney method there was no turning back. It is the best. I even use it to start a few coals when I do the snake method. Don't have a propane torch...but I might get one! No lighter fluid though.

  • @kenney9120
    @kenney9120 8 лет назад +10

    One problem with lighter fluid is that it gets on the body of the grill itself. A solution to this is to light the charcoal in something else and then put it in the grill after it ashes over.

  • @patrickmunce2180
    @patrickmunce2180 8 лет назад +3

    In general I pretty much agree with "Wolfe" . All I was ever saying was from what I have read, with lighter fluid, you really have to wait until the fluid is burned off and coals have burned down to a complete gray before you can cook after using it I do stand by my belief that all petroleum distillates are not only carcinogenic when ingested , they are also rather poisonous. I would recommend exercising caution with the stuff.

    I have been bbqing for 33 years. I use nothing but kingsford lighter fluid or Royal Oak, but mainly Kingsford. I see a lot of videos on RUclips that detest putting lighter fluid on their briquettes or on fire wood. Lighter fluid has become a phobia in recent years.Some mention kingsford “match light” ok there are exceptions to the rules. “Match light” has been soaking in lighter fluid for months or even a year or longer..I have tried it out of curiosity and, yes the meat tastes like lighter fluid. Another mistake people make is they buy the cheap lighter fluid, that’s a no no.cheap lighter fluid doesn’t burn clean, that’s why the saying goes” you get what you pay for”. Don’t be cheap and get the good brands. I’m sure there are more good lighter fluid brands I haven’t heard about, but for now I’m sticking to kingsford or Royal Oak. Another mistake that people make is they add too much lighter fluid. One 32 oz bottle of kingsford last me no less then ten bbq’s.

    An investment into a weber chimney starter is worth every penny and will last for years. Lighter fluid is consumed and you are constantly buying more. Don't go for the cheap flimsy chimneys. They are very unsafe and the handles can fall off at the most inconvenient time. Been there...done that.

    I see the "purists" all the time swearing that if you use lighter fluid your food will taste like an oil refinery, and it's bull dookey! In my charcoal years (which are long past) I always used it, and I always waited until the coals were perfect for cooking, and there was NO taste of the starter fluid. Sure, if you start cooking while it's flaming, your burger will taste like it was the victim of an oil refinery fire. That's why you wait. LOL

    To each their own...exactly. Maybe there's someone out there than can't afford a $20 chimney, but can afford a $5 bottle of fluid. .... Just saying.

      I actually find the lighter fluid gives the food a little extra flavor, something I was use to eating as a kid. Those chimney starters are for trendy yuppies.

    There is no good reason to use lighter fluid. Use a charcoal chimney instead.

    Never worked for me. I appreciate the video but my guess is that the person who owns the grill bought cheapo briquettes.
    The lighter fluid burns off in 10 seconds and never gets even close to ash colored like you ended up. I honestly avoid charcoal grills and would rather shell out money for a cheap gas grill instead if people go this route to save money. But Happiness is owning a 4 gas burner grill.
