Hi im a single mom of 4 kid's. Ive always wanted to learn how to grill. This was by far one of the easiest video's for me. Thanks for showing me how to light charcoals!! Im 38 and im finially excited about grilling!!
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!
Barb, I'm so glad this helped you! Best of luck with with the new grill, Im always looking for new video ideas if there is anything you would like to see let me know!
Best teaching video on lighting charcoal i have seen yet! Esp the part about “just wait!” If the flame gors out and dont add more lighter fluid. Thanks much 😎👏👏👏
that's awesome! its never to late to start. If you want to cook something and you don't see a video for it head over to my facebook page facebook.com/aviatorq.ue.3/ and send me a message i'll try to get out a demo video
im 24 and are starting my journey to daddom i got the blue jean shorts new balances with white ankle socks and a shirt with a shirt pocket now im gonna be the youngest pit master in my neighborhood thank you for the 1 up.
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.
@@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.
@@pharmhound68 slo you can just go off that initial light but sometimes you'll have some that kit well and others didn't so you can wait it out but if that happens rotate the grill when you first notice some didn't light to get the others lit.
Good to finally see someone not bullshit people about lighter fluid. Myron mixon, multi time world champion of BBQ uses lighter fluid and said long ago that it didn't have a taste.
hey, sorry it took me so long to respond things have been a little hectic here the last month. I watched your video, I loved it! Your editing skills and what ever program you use is amazing. can't wait to see more
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.
Thanks! I really struggled when lighting a fire. Too thick wood, waiting forever to get to grilling temperatures....I will try the chimney method and the charcoal only, no wood.
I just realized the mistake I and most people make is not letting the lighter fluid soak in before I light it. So I looked up this video to see if I was right. He let it sit for five minutes before lighting it.
Thanks for watching!! I've never really timed it out.... If your looking to extend your charcoal burn time I highly recommend getting a charcoal baskets. Its doubled my burn times. I'll copy a link to one on amazon. www.amazon.com/7403-Char-Basket-Briqueta-vegetal-Multicolor/dp/B000WEMGM4/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=weber+charcoal+baskets&qid=1595296754&sr=8-3
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 czcams.com/video/WwFDfvw8dEM/video.html
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 www.kingsford.com/products/charcoal/match-light-charcoal/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA2-2eBhClARIsAGLQ2RmELg9coz8Lu389z-MQGsRH7I2XAUtHfBaGBl5Wk8NuhpAh-m_1NtEaAtnWEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&KFO|Branded|LT|N|KW|Charcoal+&+Briquettes|Broad|English|ENKW-ENBR&+kingsford%20+lighting%20+charcoal
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
Propane tank + propane torch = lit charcoal. Light 5 add to snake, light a pile banked to the side, light the middle for a minion. This really doesn't take 15 minutes on video.
I've never even thought about using a cone, lol I don't have any conifers near my house but if im ever trying to get some lit camping ill try it out, thanks for sharing

I'd say you are definitely on your way to daddom, but that's awesome.
That was so cool how the charcoal with the lighter fluid just lit by itself 😂
😂😂😂😂
This is so interesting especailly when lighting charcoal briquettes
That 2nd light was like magic!
For a second I thought u knew magic... Great video

Thank you soooo much! This was super helpful and everything came out great! We used the bag method this time

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

Thank you so much this was the most helpful video.

Good stuff man! Great tutorial. I'm working on a video like this soon.
Thanks for watching, pull that trigger this was the first video I ever made and its been a blast ever since I started
Aviator Que Awesome, that's great to hear. I just dropped the video yesterday on my channel. Would love your feedback.
hey, sorry it took me so long to respond things have been a little hectic here the last month. I watched your video, I loved it! Your editing skills and what ever program you use is amazing. can't wait to see more
Aviator Que It's great to connect with other fellow bbqrs! Thank you so much. I just video from my iphone 11 and app on my phone.
saw someone use a little vegetable oil on a paper towel. Not sure how good it works.
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.
Thanks! I really struggled when lighting a fire. Too thick wood, waiting forever to get to grilling temperatures....I will try the chimney method and the charcoal only, no wood.
Great video my friend. I am filming a video this weekend on starting a charcoal grill.
It's my most popular video! I'll have to check yours out when you publish it
@@aviatorque6905 I posted mine 2 days ago and it already has 300 views. I AM SHOCKED! LOL. I am a new channel and am still happy when anyone watches.
Thank you
Lmbo woah
Tyy
I just realized the mistake I and most people make is not letting the lighter fluid soak in before I light it. So I looked up this video to see if I was right. He let it sit for five minutes before lighting it.
I feel like lighter fluid coals burn longer or maybe it’s me but I use a chimney myself

Rather than corrupt my food with any chemicals, I use twigs to start a fire with which to light my coals. Nice having some birch branches everywhere
What happens when your birch twigs run out?
@@joeporta1656 ive stored up a good supply of them. Lol I forgot to say that
If you are using the light the bag method, can you add hickory chips to the fire for extra flavour?
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

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

I never use lighter fluid, I always use old cooking geese
Propane tank + propane torch = lit charcoal. Light 5 add to snake, light a pile banked to the side, light the middle for a minion. This really doesn't take 15 minutes on video.
get a couple pine cones, stick em' under the charcoal, light them on fire. DONE! easiest and cleanest way to start charcoal and it's free.
I've never even thought about using a cone, lol I don't have any conifers near my house but if im ever trying to get some lit camping ill try it out, thanks for sharing
