store-bought implements<\/a> that are typically used for camping but are great otherwise, too. These can use paraffin wax or types of paper to get the coal hotter more quickly. Despite the use of additional components, a firestarter briquette doesn’t add smell or flavor to your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIn fact, if you find newspaper too tricky to work with when using a chimney starter, I would suggest that you give this option a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To use firestarters, simply place them on the coals in your charcoal grill. Then, set light to it with a long match- it will begin lighting charcoal after a while. Then, you can start grilling<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using Lighter Fluid Without Side Effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is no denying that lighter fluid makes charcoal grilling a lot easier. So, it is only natural to want to find a way around that horrible taste it adds to your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, there is a way to get the best of both worlds when outdoor grilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I first take a small amount of charcoal – about a handful will do. Place these on the grate and squirt a little bit of lighter fluid. Do this carefully as you don’t want to add too much lighter fluid. The goal here is to limit the risk of flavor contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, carefully light the charcoal – lighter fluid is combustible so be wary as you do this. Once the lit coals have reached the desired temperature, then pile on more coals. This will mask the lighter fluid on the bottom coals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, there you have it – getting your grill going without lighter fluid. Sure it involves a little bit of time, creativity, and mastery but I believe it is well worth the effort. Once you find the perfect technique for you, you will be able to light your grill without any trouble at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go ahead and figure out which option works for you best. You will not regret this decision!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
There are four alternatives you can use – a chimney starter, paper, kindling, and charcoal method, electric starter, and firestarters. Coming from a barbecue obsessed family, I learned at a young age that lighter fuel was a no-no. It is effective but the chemical taste it adds to the food is inexcusable.
