How To keep A Fire Going on A Grill ! 

As I was searching youtube on tips I said to myself nah, I need to see someone from my culture. Thanks UNC!

THIS IS THAT UNCLE EDDIE MURPHY WAS TALKIN ABOUT FOR REAL FOR REAL!!! HE GOES THROUGH 1BOTTLE OF LIGHTER FLUID EVERY TIME HE GRILLS 😂 😂 😂

Soak some card board on the bed of the grill with some cooking oil then spray your grill with cooking oil all over the inside and out. Add your charcoal on the soaked cardboard. Light the cardboard, wait for the charcoal to all turn a little gray which means they started. Once the flame goes out and the coals are putting off a lot of heat, close the lid and let the heat sit for an hour at 400 degrees. Your grill is seasoned and protected from the weather and your grill is ready to cook on. You don’t need lighter fluid, just patience.

Best teacher ever! Lady -language! Even we can follow his instructions! Thanks my Brother!❤

I see all the woman up here grilling for the first time lol. He look like he know what he doing 🤣 reminds me of my dad 🤍

Not me watching this on Memorial Day. 😂

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the bird chirping in the video. I just love that when out doors and cooking on the grill.

Skipping out on lighter fluid will give you a cleaner burn and better tasting food. Charcoal chimney is the way to go here

Next time I grill I’m going to try this. My fire don’t stay lit. I ran to RU-vid for help. Yours is the first tutorial to pop up.

What a wholesome dude.

Just what I needed. Grilling out for the first time today. Grill been sitting still for over 6 years when my ex husband left.

FINALLY!! A video that shows from start to finish exactly what to do. Honestly, watching some of these vids on here, I still had questions. I totally messed up my first time grilling yesterday because the videos were not really informative. Thank You :)

Thankyou so much i was having a tough time starting a fire for my bbq pit. i youtubed and found your video and you are a life saver to say the least ! I have now adopted you as my uncle 😂😩🙌 .

I went to bbq some pork ribs and my fire went out twice I watched your video my ribs came out perfect smoke ring and everything thanks for this video brother.

Finally someone who does coals the same way I do. Like you I find this the best and for the chimney starters each to his own!

female griller here...you helped me get it going. Thanks a million times!!!

Thnx for the video, watching this on Juneteenth as I'm planning to grill for family and friends at my new house. This video is exactly what I was looking for. I've been used to grilling with gas. First time I got a charcoal grill. This helps a lot 😊

I LOVE Kingsford. I also like those Western Hickory wood chunks too. I found a great deal at Walmart the other day.

Dope, Unc. Thank you. Gonna apply that for Father’s Day today. Happy Father’s Day.

Don't forget to rub or spray the surface with oil to keep ya meat from sticking!!

Thanks for the info bro, I started my grill the way you said and it worked. I will be starting my grill the same way next time.

Its funny he mentioned memorial day lol I'm watching this 3 years later the day before memorial day 2023. Good video thanks for info. I got a bigger grill and needed some tips thanks 100

I knew you had the answer from the thumbnail

Thanks for the helpful video. I bought the same exact charcoals and lighter fluid . It's my first time grilling this Memorial Day weekend. Now I know how to increase my fire. Thanks again.

I know how to grill but just had to come back 2 years later to see UNC cook that shit up!!

It's the best fire I have ever started. My reaction was....."there it go!" Lol.....Thanks Unc

Humorous video because so many things aren't ideal and you aren't really saving much time with these shortcuts. 1) Use a charcoal chimney starter. It's easy and your food doesn't taste like starter fluid. 2) If you use wood chips soak them overnight. That way they don't burn but you get the flavor. 3) If you go to flip and the meat is sticking that's because you didn't let the top grill get hot enough. Let it sit that way for a while top down 4) With all that room don't put the meat so close together so the air circulates... Having said all that I'd eat what he made right tf now lol. But I highly recommend a chimney starter and using no lighter fluid.

Thank You UNC! This young lady here is properly equipped to Grill.

Loved this video. Boosted my confidence and. Is the wind is no match. Thanks Unc !!

This video is so peaceful. I love the simple things in life.

This was my first time using a charcoal grill I feel like such a rookie but this video helped a ton. Thanks!

Omgg thanks for tip I been having a hard time keeping my grill lit I really dislike starting the grill over frfr & I love grilling my food thanks unc 💯

I enjoyed watching this video! You’re a funny guy too lol 😂

Thanks man, was trying barbecue with the fam and I see some mistakes we did. We kept adding thinking the fire was the key, but the coal had to turn white 😅. Many more lol heat important thanks that is the taste best taste ❤

Thank you for your video. I'm so glad to see someone who grills like I do. Appreciate it man.

The reference of Eddie Murphy and Near Bout There!!! Iykyk‼️🤌🏾🤌🏾 Classic‼️✊🏾

Appreciate the tip OG! 💪 Im used to grilling with a propane grill...😂😂

This really helped! I was not using enough lighter fluid! Thnx Unc!

Thanks for the video unc! I was wondering why my fire kept going out. This helped a lot.

Ps When using your chimney use a firestarter or you can use cooking oil on cardboard or newspaper under the charcoal, the cooking oil is to make the Fireburn flower so it will white the turkey better

what is in the bottle

I’ve always wanted to do my own barbecue.. thanks for sharing🙏🏾

Now that’s a fire 😂😂😂😂

Missing the bbq! They shut ours down in the community so thanks for bringing back some memories:)

Unc said "smoke getting to yah" imagine what it's doing to Meeee!!😂😂😂😂 I'm crying 😭

I never knew this how to keep the fire burning

It’s Memorial Day again and I’m watching

This is how you learn!! Sit and watch the older heads!

Wow I had to watch the video from a brother to get mine lit right lol Nice vid unc

Spin tricks with the lighter was the best part! Haha thanks for the tips man!

LOL I didn’t know u was supposed to use a lot of lighter fluid 🤣🤣💯💯💯 thanks fam

Bruh this is why he’s not the one the family calls to bbq. All that lighter fluid is going to assassinate those taste buds.

Now that’s a Fyer 🔥🔥🔥

Hickory, apple and mesquite wood is my go to

A chimney charcoal starter would be a lot easier and have all your coal on one side of the grill so you can have a hot side and a warm side the hat side is for cooking fast. The warm side is for cooking slower.😊

This video saved Mother’s Day 😂😅 thank you!

Keep your family safe OG, don't toucj anything with the hand that you used to handle raw meat until after you clean your hands. Good luck with the channel.

16 minutes went by quick haha I was enjoying being company

Yes my brother. Black excellence ✨️

We rolling) lol I feel you thanks for the tips OG✅

You guys sure like your food.. Its coming into winter here and i wish i was standing next to it.. Brrr its cold

Thumbs up for when you slung and holstered the lighter lol that was hilarious

Just what I was looking for, thanks so much

Hi Jeffersons, I like the easy way in which you started the fire! You enjoyed it too. Let's keep connected. # growing together

here in august 2024 learning to get my fire right for labor day in a few weeks..thanks

What a great guy!

Never grilled before watch this video now I can’t stay away from a bbq grill 🙏🏽

More life to you my brother

Barbeque is so tender!!!! It was great!!!!

Would you tell me what mixture you were using in the bottle.

Now we know who started the Great Chicago Fire back in 1972. LOL.

You know you are in the south when he says we near bout there. And you know he means it’s almost time to throw the meat on🧐😤🦐🦐🦐🦀🦀🦀🦞🦞🦞

Thanks temporary dad as I was never taught ❤❤

One other thing I'm going to mention... there is a saying that if you're watching the food it's not cooking. The top down creates a crucial heat circulation. If you have the lid up the whole time you are mostly cooking the bottom side. He definitely closes the lid to cook. But just want to note that because when you are starting you think you want to look the whole time.

dude STR8 from the southside of chicago!!!

Just a quick tip....you dont need lighter fluid to light the coals. Add some news paper and put the charcoal on top. Make sure its getting air and light. 😊

LETS GO CHAMP!

😳Only reason I kept watching was to see him light it with the same hand😆👀

Lawddd this was right on time from Unc !!!

That was an absolutely beautiful fire I must admit. Also in love with your personality. You MUST be from the South because of how down to earth you are? Edit: And I DID think that before the movie reference and nearboutready or whatever it was that you said lol.
