Happy grilling pong

Easily the best way to light charcoal is with a chimney device. No lighter fluid, just newspaper.

I bought a different charcoal starter recently and boy does it work good. Duraflame Freshlight. I was going to grill but I forgot to buy charcoal.

I had to hunt but found a link to Gobel lighting the charcoal -

Apparently, Purdue made him remove it from their web site.

Pretty impressive.

When I was in the army, we use to go to the nearby airforce base for wienie roasts using the exhausts of F-14s getting ready for take off........You had to be quick or your wienie was well done.

Make the charcoal into a small pyramid and soak the crap out of it with lighter fluid. Then add another layer or two to the pyramid and wet it down gently with lighter fluid. As long as the heat is pulling air from the bottom, the fire will burn really well. When the coals are good and hot, you can then spread them out a bit flatter (don't use your bare hands).

Truly impressive stuff. Note (for those who are considering doing this at home) he cautions against soaking the coals in LOX, claiming that a single coal soaked in LOX is the equivalent of a stick of dynamite.

If you're less adventurous, and still can't get the grill going (after soaking in lighter fluid) try this: take a SINGLE coal, soak it thoroughly in gasoline, and toss it (from a safe distance) onto the pile. If there's not sufficient heat to light it right away, use a long match as an ignition source. Make sure you're standing back, though, because you can get your eyebrows singed if you don't.

Odds are buying that newspaper puts money in liberals' pockets.

For chemical ignition acetone works really well. Clean and quick.
