Thank you homie. I’m a beginner and a charcoal grill is all I have. I was hella depressed after burning a full rack of ribs, salmon and some chicken drumsticks at a cookout so now I gotta make a comeback
My ex burn all good meat everytime so today I wanna learn how to start the grill right tired of all my good steaks chickens everything being burn
Me too man
For a no-oil nonstick alternative, take a yellow onion and slide it up an down on the hot grill. Diners use this method when cooking with stainless steel pans, same works for grills!
Finally someone who has a similar grill to me, mines a bit smaller though
cool, grill buddies. the grill is not the important thing, but the cook.
@statupbox You are so nice, even with some of the comments people are making. Although, I will not use newspaper, I will use all of the other tips you provided. Thank you for taking the time to make the video :)
thanks.
I love charcoal grilled food it has a much better Flavor than when Grilled with Propane etc.? Nice Video thanks for sharing.
Yes it does, Thanks!
MyREDTAIL hhh
@@StatUpBox can I male ribs on a square grill ?
Yes you can
Weber kettle grills are the premier charcoal grills but it's nice to see someone using a less expensive grill. A square little grill. It has less cooking area but heck, it gets the job done. I'd like to see someone grill on one of those silver ones. Don't recall the name, smokey joe?😸

Actually, it's easier to have your charcoal already in the chimney when you start your fire. Also, do not put on the grill. Put it on the rack where you put the coals or put it on a concrete surface.
Great tips.

+god563616 Let s c in a future video.
+god563616 meanwhile you can use 3 pieces of paper or paper towel , crumble them up in the middle add 1 tablespoon of home cooking oil on the paper , place half of the charcoal you are going to use on top of the paper like a little mountain and light the paper on. Good luck

Like that grill what make is it plse ???
Nice tips!
I made my very first charcoal bbq ever on a huge grill that I bought used. I didn’t know coals needed air to circulate around them. I would have used the 3 foot tall size bag - THE WHOLE BAG! - to fill up the 22.5” X 22.5” X 4.5”D drum(?). I Only had some odds and ends but managed to McGyver something in order to save some coals for at least a 2nd bbq!! Now I have lots of great udso I could try a so I would lose use less charcoal I MacGyver word something hi hi hi Mick guy Verd somethingI kn fact, The grill to put the coals on was missing. I
Continuing ...... How many inches should there be between charcoal and food grill please? Thank you 🤓
@@kellyholder9220 That all depends. How many inches can you handle?
Great tips
Great video!
Thanks
Thank you!
like the indirect grilling.
This is so good
Hi.. I am using a weber 47" and using a weber ligter cubes in the chimney. I just want to know do you have any veg dishes? Eating chicken all this week and had fish twice. So I am tired of it for some time
You can search on the web for great tasting veggie burgers and sausages recipes. The veggie burgers are super good.Good luck!
Very nice.
thanks
I got a question, I had a oil rag that I used to wipe up used oil spills and check oil in the motor so I USED to lay it on top of the grill CLOSED but the vent may've been open when I layed ths oil rag on top of the grill so do you thi k that the grill will be toxified by the oil rag coming In contact with the vent therefore toxifying the future grilling food and if it is then how do inget rid of the oil that may be in the grill?
knightrider1545 what I would do is buy a grill degreaser ( which are specialized for grills,Do not use harsh chemicals or bleaching agents),also you can use soap and water to clean what you have to make sure is that you don't leave it wet, you have to completely dry it, so it wont create any rust and make sure you remove any soap with water. after that I would go ahead and do a test run , season the grill again with some oil when hot and use a single piece of meat to do a test. good luck
I am the world's expert on charcoal grilling. First lay a FLAT bed of briquettes (never make a pyramid). Second place a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil (never use fuel) on the whole top then light. Third put the seafood on the grill after the paper burns down, 5 minutes. Briquettes will burn slowly and will smoke the seafood or meat to perfection. Seafood will take 30 minutes and meat one hour.
How safe is the ink from the news paper? Wouldn’t that burn into your charcoal?
thanks for the good tips
no prob, thanks
What's the best and most safe way to start charcoal without a log like you had in the video?
+Larry Frazier if you don't have chimney starter and you are concerned that the ink from your local newspaper may contain petroleum based and not soy (vegetable extract ink), then the other option would be to use just regular paper towel with no print, not scented , if you want to go the extra mile there are green and organic alternatives to printing paper and paper towels. I would say cooking oil is still a lot safer than lighter fluid ( you can go with out using the oil, but don't be surprise if it becomes a mission) as a previous comment from
MrCoffeekelly "two sheets of paper towels wadded up and dipped in vegetable oil works much better than newspapers to light the chimney" I would take that same base and place them in the middle of the grill, then place the charcoals on top of them then go ahead and light the paper towels up and with the grills lid control the air ventilation . That is how I use to do it before i had a chimney starter but for 10 dollars u can save your self a lot of future headaches , I learned the hard way. Good luck. If any one else want to comment and give advice is welcomed.
Love watching the "Cheap charcoal Grills" vedoes at work 👍👏👌
Dont hate!
You're good Amigo
Thanks!
what if i dont have a charcol starter container is it fine if i just put some newspaper on the bottom where the charcol will be and light it up and place the charcol on top ever so slightly? First time grilling and i think i might ruin the family fun with my mistakes which I hope i dont make any mistakes!
the easiest way with out a chimney starter and u might not even need newspaper, is using some dry small branches and leaves just make sure they are dry its easy to find now in the summer time laying around on the ground.
+StatUpBox or twigs
ok ty! :)
Hi,
Does the corn have to be in the husk?
No. You can wrap it in foil.
which grill brand do you use in this video
+Rajanikant Adkar its a generic no brand one, the ones that cost $20 at big department stores.
+StatUpBox thanks
I don’t think I’ll grill this t
Year because last year I was grilling burgers and started a grease fire. I got some Burns but not too nasty
Hi how much charcoal did u use ? Thanks
we don't have a exact measurement but it was a 90% full charcoal chimney
Thank You
see a lot of people saying they won't use newspaper so what's the recommended alternative?
just plain old white paper, paper towels with no print or color or just good old fashion twigs, dry leaves or coconut husk.
StatUpBox thank you
Great video! Where dii you get that grill? What brand is it? Thanks!
+Beatriz “bellabluemoon” it was a gift, never had any branding on it. The wood metal contraption was hand made. Thanks.
Could you please tell how much time it took to get the coals hot and what is the indicator that its ready for chicken?
about 10 minutes, once the coals look white, or they stop smoking or when you see fire on them. it can be also that all three things happen at once.
StatUpBox Thanks
(sorry I forgot to ask)
How do you turn off the charcoal once you have finished cooking. Do you pour water or just let it burn out? Can it be reused, in case you pour water?
Let it burn out. Water can rust grill. What is good to do is clean grill meanwhile coals are hot grease is easier to remove. But if you have a place outside of the grill to dump coal .you can dump charcoal and wet with water,.
+StatUpBox Thanks again, well appreciated.
I shall follow your suggestions soon.
You need some colour on that seasoning 😭
Do you use briquettes or lumpwood charcoal? Which is better?
I personally like lumpwood charcoal, they last longer and i have even put them out with water , had them in a corner in my back yard, and re used them a week later and it rained two days as well that week, they turn on with out a glitch. But if you want the more charcoal taste I feel Briquettes give you more of that flavor, specially when doing chicken. lumpwood is sometimes cheaper than briquettes. So it depends on you, you want cheaper and re ussable lumpwood or more flavor briquettes. but Honestly what I do, I go to walmart buy the 5 dollar red bag of lumpwood and buy the 5 dollar black bag of briquettes, and use them as will. that would be a cheap way to try them out and not spent alot of money. and these are not small bags they are the big ones like 14 to 18 pounds. Lately I have been smoking meats so either of them will work well. I have also notice I get less flare ups with lumpwood (like burgers and stuff) good luck. Happy Grilling. At the end of the day these are all my opinions, I dont want the BBQ Masters of the inner webs to Roast me. LOL So I welcome all opinions. Hope others write theirs as well. :o)
when I grill chicken thighs etc, the fat hits the charcoals and they seem to go out ... Does this happen to you as well? You'd think if they are so hot, that wouldn't happen...Thanks for any advice
It's good to do 80/20 or the 60/40 method, charcoal on one side 60 or 80 percent and empty 20 or 40 percent maybe with a drip pan fatter meats,Because you can do a few minutes to get color on both sides on charcoal, then move to non charcoal side. Smaller grills with less charcoal the constant fat dripings can turn the small amount of charcoal off. Usually bigger grills have the options of changing distance from charcoal and it makes drippings fall in one or two charcoals instead of the whole thing. A pro tip trimming fat from chicken makes less drippings, if chicken is super cold or frozen may have excess water, is always good to dry meat as well. Trying a different charcoal brand won't hurt. Any more suggestions welcomed.
Could I just put the newspaper in the grill and start the fire and put the charcoal on top instead of doing it all in that can? Is it the same thing ?
You can but it will take longer and if there is wind it can become a mission.
What is the name of the grill that you are using? Looks cool I like it it has to departments up and top
Yes it was nice grill! It was something like this amzn.to/2Dwi5jJ that we created a little table that would come apart and can be stored anywhere. That table was made with wood and conduit.😉
Charcoal into a gas grill. Can't argue with results.
Al Beebe it actualy works great i had one till someone robbed me. now i have to struggle with a regular charcoal grill. i think it has to do with the gas piping. lol

What kind of grill is that?
Please, pretty please, how far should the charcoal be from the grill??? I down sized the grill, only me 'n' my little old doggy. Turned the chimney upside down (there is no video or grill for a single person), so had to , put in charcoal (2 bricks with space between to set chimney on) put in paper, doused charcoal only with denatured alcohol, lit it up, got charcoal furry with ash, put on my filet (beef), about 1and1/2 to 2 inches above charcoal in hand held basket, as far down as I could. 45 min later still not cooked. Have switched charcoal and tried 3 different grills. No luck. What would you recommend? Had to nuke the meat, tough as leather. I live where you are not supposed to grill, I made a 6x10' patio with 12" pavers anyway, and wait till midnight. I'm over 65 yrs old, semi-disabled and with the few yrs I have left, I'd like to make something I like, on the rare occasion I have the money. Any help? :) (charcoal goes out) Chimney is same as yours. Tried to grill meat with a 1/16" of fat on one side only. Will check back to see if you have a suggestion, but doubt it since the comments are at least 1 yr ago. (as I mentioned, charcoal goes out, is the problem) Hope you can help and thank you for the video...
a good way to know how much charcoal you need is to actually count them, you can definitely start with 10 briquettes, and if you feel you need less or more you do that in 2 increments. with the chimney starter you dont need to add alcohol to the charcoal just by placing either leaves, twigs or paper under the chimney starter and lighting the paper on you should be good to go, specially if you are cooking a small amount they should turn on pretty quickly. what makes the cooking is not really the charcoal or the grill, but time. That is why i would recommend a thermometer, getting the meat to the right temperature is the goal, once you have color on both sides you want to place the meat on the non charcoal side until it gets to the correct temperature. then you want to let the meat rest for 5 to 15 minutes because not only will keep the meat's juices but also finish cooking, you can also wrap the meat in the resting process with aluminum paper to make sure the juices are not lost, and like that avoid the leather feel. remember that when the meat has alot of fat , flare ups are more common and can over char the meat, so the farther away from the charcoal is best when dealing with a real fatty meat, if you are unable to adjust the height, than flipping the meat in 1 minute increments and then placing on non charcoal side you should be good. I personally remove the fats from the meat, but that is a personal thing (to make healthier).
Thanks for the video-by the way ,what kind of grill is that and where can I get one-it's the perfect size.
+Peewee250 thanks. Is one of those cheap $20 dollars ones, at any big retail store. I just made a wooden metal stand , to make it taller.
why did you cook half the chicken over the charcoal and the other half not over it, which one cooks it better
+Samantha Sparks we start cooking it in the charcoal side and then finish cooking in the non charcoal side so it wont get burned , beacuse leaving the meat in the charcoal side for the entire process may burn the meat , and we also have the non charcoal side so when we have flare ups we can place the meat on that side to stop them.
Awesome thank you, that explains why my chicken is always cooking outside so fast and burning when not done inside
+Samantha Sparks no problem. good luck
is there any specific type of charcoal to be used ?
caryan050 no. you can use which ever you lease
how many times can we use the charcoal
after is on, only one use, it can last depending on the charcoal up to 5-6 hours on , where you can cook many different things. but a whole bag can give you 3-4 times of cooking if not using a big grill.
what song plays at the beginning of the video? it sounds very familiar.
Kyle Clark it is from the CZcams audio library Skull Fire Jingle Punks
they have cubes you can put on the grill and light the place the chimney starter over.What you did is sort of dangerous
That is why when grilling, is always good to have caution, dealing with fire and charcoal is always dangerous. I personally like the part of setting my own fire, Im now using twigs and dry branches to light the fire. more old school.
July 4 Kingsford
.
how do you make a side to put your charcoal.
you need to get know your grill and how much charcoal it can handle I ussually go for 50% of its capacity for chicken and 3/4 of its capacity for any other meat or vegetable. once you have them on I move them with some metal tongs that I only use for charcoal or you can use any piece of stick. hope that answers your question.
Which company is that grill which your using
that was a generic $20 dollar neighborhood store one. that we upgraded with wood and metal electrical pipes to raise from the ground. now we have this one amzn.to/2KX9veZ before the kingford we had this one (which we still own but dont use as much) amzn.to/2OIbwxL we did a video on the suitcase grill that we use on trips where you cant take too much amzn.to/2KXYSbu
Shouldn't you use a meat thermometer to make sure chicken has reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees?
yes , if you own one is the best way. amzn.to/2yGCbVm but as you get better, is just like cooking, with time you just know.
The news paper ink is just as toxic
Grilling 😎 oh say Statupbox have you heard the song We all bleed the same
Where did you get that top shelf? I don't have that
it came with the grill

Charcoal Grilling tips Beginners
StatUpBox Thanks for the tips! I'm working up the nerve to start grilling, and these tips will help. :)
+Ogre thanks
wait you worried about chemicals from the lighter but your burning news paper that has ink on it why wouldn't you just use a fire starter.
after 1970 newspaper is made with soy ink, but yes just regular plain white paper would be even better
I find it funny how he starts off by saying to not light up the grill with fluids because it contains chemicals yet he uses a news paper filled with ink...
+NextTierGaming since the 70's newspaper ink is made with soy.
+NextTierGaming but it is funny.,😁
NextTierGaming take it back and apologize for being an ignorant turd
hahah i was just going to type that then i noticed that you had already said it anyway
Soy gives you cancer!
Use an onion to clean your grill
This is some bunk bullshit fam. We grill with propane only I tell ya h'wat.
Where's your video? We know yours is SO MUCH better!

lmao
Hank Trill I would cook with propane, but the propane accessories are SO expensive...
This is very primitive and Propane is so old school... we cookin everythin electric

Nigga gonna be making a smoke bbq brisket
you're supposed to add the charcoal before you light the paper lol
Lol
Lol. "So then you place the News paper." 0:33
Right away something is wrong you're not using a Weber charcoal grill
u dnt mop ur chicken?
in some cases I do, but this one was not one of those moments.
Guess there's wrong with paper and ink
This doesnt work 95% of the time i close the grill all the time the charcoal goes out.
Either not enough coals or you choked it out by closing all the vents.
Any help
are the vents open? bottom and top ones?
StatUpBox Yes all of theme
can you make a a video turning it on? so we can see entire process. that be great!!
StatUpBox Here's a video of the problem
czcams.com/video/jSW8teEeNsU/video.html
have you tried to cook it with the lid off? do you get air access to the vents? have you tried a different type of charcoal?
Why not just clean the grill with water and soap before cooking, lol
+Alweezy i do once a month, you just have to make sure to not leave it wet, best to put it in the sun after done b/c if not it will rust
Yes, the foil works great when we are camping and have no access to soap and water. We do this on our home gas grill as well.
you really don't need the oil at all
+Scott Parry that is true
+Scott Parry The newspaper no...the grill yes.
