Today we want to show you six ( 6 ) different ways to light your charcoal with NO LIGHTER FLUID!!!
There are many ways to light a charcoal grill. The first thing that many people reach for though is a bottle of stinky lighter fluid. Well, this is a big no-no in our world. The smell and the fumes will penetrate your food and give it a weird, off putting flavor. Not to mention that if you are using a kamado style cooker such as a Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe or Primo, the fluid will get into the ceramics and the smell and fumes will seemingly never go away.
We are constantly asked what the best way to light charcoal is, so we decided to cover some of them for you. Now, this may be common knowledge for some of you but to many, it is a great mystery. We will show you six different ways that you can light your charcoal and have it burning just as quickly, if not quicker than you would with lighter fluid. Uggh, I don’t even like typing the words!

Thank you again for your videos. I will get my green egg this Thursday and watched a bunch of your videos and feel like im good to go. You seem to be the only Chanel that produces consistent green egg content. I ordered a FOGO Blazeball and some FOGO coal and hope I will enjoy the green egg.

I was going to a beach where usually I could always find something easy to light up and using those things to light up the charcoal. Recently on the same beach it is rare to find anything, people doing the same are more. I need to try the paper soaked in the coocking oil, as an alternative it seems interesting. Hope it will work :)

@FOGOcharcoal 11 месяцев назад

I am actually encouraged that people are leaving the beaches cleaner. Yes, the paper towel in oil works like a champ. Pine cones also work if you find some

As a Floridian, I'm prone to watching many BBQ's on public grills at Billy Baggs. It's common to view a good number spray lighter fluid while meat is on grill. 😂 I just got my first my Green Egg, and I'm nonchalant as you with metal cage with fire starters and just throw it in. IIt's not rocket science. I got a used XL and noticing the improvement. I'll be replacing the gaskets tomorrow in anticipation of Labor Day Pork Butt. Did pork ribs yesterday, and at 230F, an hour more would have probably been better. It's always a feel thing. That said, took advantage of Publix Labor day weekend sales and loaded up on 2 for 1 on ribs and other stuff.

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

That is fantastic! It sounds like you are going to have a very tasty weekend!

@siamiam4306 Год назад

@@FOGOcharcoal I messed up today not removing dome while changing my gaskets. I don't want to waste 1/4 of gasket that failed to stick on dome. Lower lip went fine. I'm waiting for adhesive to arrive tomorrow. On Monday I remove dome and do it right. I thought I'd get away and didn't.

@ac-6569 2 года назад

Excellent video, very informative. Do you leave the Blazeball in the cooker or do you remove it after fire is going?? How much do you want for the Blue Green Egg??? That is soooo cool!!!!

@FOGOcharcoal 2 года назад

Hey there, that is a great question. I just leave it in while it's cooking. Once is out, its ready to be pulled out and used again! BTW, that Egg is NOT for sale. I do get asked alot!

@stewsmith3536 Год назад

Absolutely a great channel and you are helping me enjoy my XL BGE. Thinking about the torch but I read a safety note that is confusing. It says to remove the tank when not in use. Won’t this cause the gas to leak out? Do you keep your propane tank connected to the handle?

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

Hi Stew! Thanks so much, we are glad you’re enjoying it! I have had my torch for a few years and the only time I’ve ever taken the bottle off is to change it when it’s empty and that’s not very often. I’m not saying to go against the manufacturer recommended usage but just what I have done.

@ryandavids1129 Год назад

I'd honestly like to see a blind taste test of BBQ with one being cooked on naturally lit vs starter fluid. I can't fathom how you could tell the difference. When those coals are white, they are so freaking hot, it's burned off the starting fluid a long time before you even put meat on the grill.

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

No no no no no.....

@ryandavids1129 Год назад

@@FOGOcharcoal no no no what? how does the fuel you put on the charcoal not burn off from the time you light it, to the time they are ready to cook on?

@@FOGOcharcoal briquettes tip out at 800 and lump at 1200 degrees. How does an accelerant not burn off at those temps?

Your right. It really gets me when people soak charcoal with lighter fluid and then you have black dirty smoke.

I've been using the Chimney method with Fogo, and one thing I noticed is that it's like a fireworks show on Mt back porch. Should I just be putting the bigger pieces in the chimney? So far, I've just dumped from the bag until it was full.

@FOGOcharcoal Год назад

I don't really recommend the chimney method with lump. If so, dump it earlier. We always recommend to use FOGO Fire Starters. www.fogocharcoal.com/collections/light-your-fire/products/fogo-starters-all-natural-premium-firestarters

Great ideas IF you have real charcoal available not briquettes. Real charcoal not available in most areas of the USA. And, yes it is much easier to light.
