How to Start a Charcoal Grill

Many people don't think grilling with charcoal is good because if you don't let the lighter fluid burn off long enough it will make food taste bad.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Grill
• Charcoal
• Grill Brush
• Lighter Fluid
• Lighter

1. Take lid off grill and take off top grate.
2. Put charcoal in pyramid shape on bottom grate and put enough lighter fluid on to get a fire going.
3. Light the fire and wait ten minutes so the charcoal can start getting hot and the lighter fluid can burn off.
4. When the fire gets low enough spread the burning charcoal around a little using the grill brush. Then put the top grate on fast so your hands don't get burned.
5. Wait five minutes and then use the grill brush to rub the grate. Then start grilling!

• Grill will be VERY hot.
• Don't use in the wind.
• Don't use to much lighter fluid.
