Summertime when family and friends gather around a backyard barbecue grill for great food and happy memories. To make sure these memories are happy, you need to take precautions when lighting charcoal in the grill. There are three ways to start this fire. There is a lighter liquid from charcoal, a chimney from charcoal and electronic ignition.
Let's start with a lighter fluid from charcoal. When using liquid liquids you should always follow the directions printed on the can. Gas vapors are flammable, and explosions are explosive. Let the liquid soak into the charcoal for a sufficient amount of time. Woven gloves, use a long match or hand holder and do not stand over the pile, so that charcoal is soon lit. Safety should always be a priority when lighting charcoal in this way and should be performed or at least observed by adults.
Another way to light a grill with charcoal is with a stone starter. Lighting the grill using this method is very simple. Just crumple the newspaper and other it in the lower part of the chimney starter and pour the charcoal from above. Then, using a match or cigarette lighter, light a newspaper in several places. As soon as newsprint lights up, it will light up with charcoal. When the charcoal is angry gray on top, it can be dumped on the grill to cook where it is needed. Again, you must be careful when working with a hot chimney. Woven gloves that are resistant to heat and fire resistance are always recommended and performed by adults or, at a minimum, controlled.
Finally, the last way to light a grill with coal is electronic ignition. Not all grills are installed with this type of lighting system. It contains a fuel source, securely attached to the grate, which, when turned on, ignites coal at the touch of a button. When using this system it is also possible to use a chimney with charcoal or not. As soon as the button is pressed to ignite Coal, it lights up with a gas flame to directly ignite the charcoal.
When the charcoal burns, the gas should be turned off, and cooking should be done over hot coals. As always, this task should be performed by a responsible adult.
Thus, three ways to light a grill with charcoal are with a lighter fluid, a charcoal chimney, or electronic ignition (if available). There are different points of view on which method is best. Some people believe that using lighter liquids affects the taste of food on the grill. There is also the view that the use of a charcoal chimney saves money, because then there is no need to buy a lighter fluid. Whatever way you choose your coal grill, always be careful around the fire.
