Found it's best to roll up the paper in long lengths and wrap around the insides to allow a hole in the center allowing air flow upwards. This works much better than placing wads of it in the whole bottom. Saw Alton Brown demonstrate that, and he adds some cooking oil on the paper too.
Just bought one of these yesterday. Made the mistake of filling it all the way up and dumping them all in my grill. Brought it to over 500 with the lid closed. I only really needed half. Lesson learned. Awesome chimney starter though.
Really funny video. Another way to light the chimney is with 2 lighter fluid cubes. Put then on the bottom. Light them up. Put the chimney on top of the fire. Then poor out on half side of the BBQ so you have your hot side and low heat side for like Hot dogs. Buns, etc...
Just ordered the compact version. I'm already happy to leave the instant light coals and fluid behind. Although it sounds like your camera person was smoking more than just brisket! Just kidding, nice video!
Fantastic video, love the laughing in the background! Had me laughing myself silly and had to keep rewinding the bit where you looked into the hot coals!🤣🤣 Hope your food tasted just as good?
Brand new grill, but Ed, your using the wrong briquettes man, I could tell by the amount of dust coming out the bag. Kingsford son, cleanest burn, best flavor.
I used more than one a couple of newspapers I used and rolled around than insert into the bottom of chimney starter and lighted it at the bottom omg! Flame of fire rised up and after a few minutes the flames calmed and lowed down. Reading your comment than I will use one rolled of newspaper next time.
Hey sir I've seen your videos and you are too funny to watch like when you build the charcoal grill and this video when you back off of the chimney starter.HaHa!!! I wish I could meet you one day.Pleasy Reply.
Holy crap that was a lot of paper. I'm still just trying to figure out what is so funny that the camera lady kept laughing. Also, FYI, you may not want to start a fire right up next to your house like that. If the fire get out of control, it can spread to your house.
Take about 2 to 3 cotton balls and soak them with alcohol then light them up and set the chimney over them on your grill. much better then using paper.
L Derby well worth it and you really don't need more then one small piece of paper to get it going other ways might be faster but this is very easy and you can prep other things and just leave it alone
You sure you’re not the real life Homer Simpson? I’m sure I could hear Marge sniggering whilst filming! A bit more newspaper Homer. A bit more to the left next time. You only managed to get three quarters of the flames in your face that time! 😂😅😂
I've used Kingsford for years picked up a bag of Royal oak all natural hardwood briquettes. Royal Oak All day 😎👍🤙 I will not ever use Kingsford ever again.
Thanks! I actually haven't seen that in my country yet.. I ordered the Weber Mastertouch this morning and it is supposed to be included (from what I've seen in other videos), so will see if we have them over here. That might solve a lot of my problems if I do get it.. Otherwise I'll have to get something made
