How to Use the Garden BBQ Charcoal Starter

Materials Needed

• Garden BBQ Charcoal Starter
• Charcoal
• Matches or a lighter
• Newspaper or fire starters
• Grill or BBQ
• Heat-resistant gloves (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Charcoal Starter

Place the charcoal starter on a stable, heat-resistant surface near your grill or BBQ.

Step 2: Add Kindling

• Crinkle a few sheets of newspaper and place them at the bottom of the charcoal starter.
• Alternatively, you can use commercial fire starters.

Step 3: Add Charcoal

• Fill the charcoal starter with an appropriate amount of charcoal for your grilling needs.
• Ensure the charcoal is evenly distributed for an even burn.

Step 4: Light the Kindling

• Using matches or a lighter, ignite the newspaper or fire starters through the bottom holes of the charcoal starter.
• Allow the fire to catch and spread to the charcoal.

Step 5: Wait for Charcoal to be Ready

• Allow the charcoal to burn until the top pieces are covered in gray ash. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
• Avoid touching the metal body of the starter without using heat-resistant gloves, as it will become very hot.

Step 6: Transfer the Charcoal

• Once the charcoal is ready, carefully pour it into the grill or BBQ.
• Arrange the coals as needed for direct or indirect cooking.

Safety Tips

• Always use the charcoal starter in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep flammable materials away from the starter while in use.
• Wear heat-resistant gloves when handling the starter.
• Ensure the starter is completely cool before storing.
