I grilled today, and lit my charcoal using lighter fluid. I was great, not a bit of foul smell. Lighter fluid does not make food smell bad, as long as you give it enough time to light completely.
You wont be disappointed my friend. There is a link in the description to the one I use and recommend. Thanks for watching. BTW, I love your thumbnails.
The issue we are running into with th3 chimney is the bottom charcoals catch and burn and burn out just as the top briquettes start to catch so I've only got like half my charcoal left thats usable
@andrewthemaroon8608 I have had this issue in the past as well, and I found it was an issue with airflow. I now set the chimney on the BBQ Grate instead of on the ground. This helps all the briquettes start more evenly. I hope this helps.
Just found your channel after doing a search for charcoal lighting after an epic fail this weekend. Thanks for the tips and the humor from a new subscriber
I am so glad I could help. I was at a BBQ a few weekends ago and sat back and watched a guy burn off his eyebrows with Lighter fluid. I took over at that point. Thank you for subbing my friend.
Hey Coleman, I just had to say a big THANK YOU for these tips. I recently bought a Weber Summit Komado and did not have any firestarters around when I went to do the initial burn in. So i went to the bathroom and grabbed the petroleum jelly and cotton balls and 3 minutes later there is fire! I have use them for the first 3 cooks and now I am looking at getting that mason jar full. They work awesome!! Thanks for the great tip!
You are welcome my friend. I love how well those things work. Last weekend I actually made a bunch of them up and put them in the camper to start campfires with. Glad I could help.
@@GrillinandChillinwithColeman I used to make them many years ago to put a few in a small survival kit I'd take with me hunting, fishing, camping. But used drier lint, an egg carton, and paraffin. Those things could get the wetist of tinder going and burn for almost 1/2 an hour. Great tips Coleman.
@@marktoldgardengnome4110 I make those as well. I have found that they work much better when you mix sawdust into the drier lint and wax. Great for starting any fires and basically free. I appreciate you watching.
I'm new to grilling and I definitely didn't enjoy pouring all that lighter fluid on my coals. Thanks, I'm going to buy the propane tank! New subscriber here from Detroit !! 🎉
I like using a chimney and I light it with a paper towel soaked with vegetable oil in a small metal bowl. I might try the torch just to satisfy my curiosity however.
You wont be disappointed. Nothing like sitting around with friends and family, grilling some steaks, and singing worship songs. I play 13 instruments but guitar is not one of them. It’s hard to sit around a campfire singing How Great Thou Art with a trombone. LOL. Thanks for watching.
Thank you my friend! I was told that I needed to add a little more of MYSELF in this video, so this is the result. LOL. I was not allowed to put a picture of the garden gnome I actually bought.
I have a link in the description of this video and on my website. If you can't find it, email me and I will send you the Amazon link. Thanks for watching my friend.
Just easier to reach them when using less charcoal. Also, most chimneys, the bottom grate is dished up, allowing for better airflow. When flipping it over, it causes it to dish down. This holds the briquettes closer together when using less charcoal. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@@GrillinandChillinwithColeman didn't have a lighter touch ran out of juice, use the magnifying glass to light up one charcoal and use the bubble machine because it has a battery powered fan on it. Minutes the bubbles. Then once it turned white I dump charcoal on top waited 25 minutes then call it good. Wife and kids thought I was crazy. But it works.
Thank you my friend. I think the dogs have learned to keep their distance when I start throwing things. LOL But they seem to always come around when it's time to taste test.
The neighbor has cows and horses, I am sure they were just going over to say Hi. I have not seen many deer in my area due to the amount of wild hogs in the area.
when I buy salmon and I cook salmon on the grill, there is butcher paper that comes with the salmon. It is a match coincidental? I think not!. God thought of everything.
Hey, nice video, thanks! I might end up with the torch. Do you think it might be the best way to produce the least possible amount of smoke? I had some issues with my neighbours, and I try to find a solution (if it even exists..) to not to make so much smoke. Thanks for the reply, if you can!
Thank you my friend, o appreciate you watching. The torch will definitely help with the smoke as lighter fluid or any other fire starters have oil in them and will smoke. I am not sure if you can completely eliminate it, but also using hardwood lump charcoal instead of charcoal briquettes will also help. Briquettes have a binder in them that produce some smoke. I hope that helps.
I know its been 3 years but I still hope you're answering posts ~ Won't any oil just burn & stink like rancid burnt oil? its going to coat everything underneath & continuously burn there. I hate the smell of burning oil & rancid oil, you can totally tell. And someone used old oil & again, rancid & over-cooked. Isn't there a better solution besides oil & a freaking flame torch! LOL!! Love ya hun
GOOD NEWS! I am still very active on my page and answer all comments. I hope to be filming again very soon. I do use the torch most often, but the Vaseline and cotton balls do not leave any smell of taste, so that is my second favorite way to start my grill. I also like the Royal Oak Tumbleweeds, but i just tend to make my own. I hope this helps and I do appreciate you watching.
