    • @@maliquewilliams86 yeah I’m having a hard tine understanding this stupid comment. I’m a MiLlEnIaL but I’m 34, first. And without some stupid label of my generation, I just assumed society’s standards you should be able to use a grill at around 20. My dad is 66. Used a chimney starter once and returned it. He’s old school. Pyramid of coals, lighter fluid, let it soak. 45 mins later we’re eating. Never tasted fluid but I do use a chimney starter to stay incog at my apartment to hide the flames

  • Hard to believe, but @ 61 years old I picked up a used weber charcoal chimney starter in great shape for $3.00 and wasn't sure how everybody used it. I always poured my charcoal into the bottom of my grill and used that famous brand squirt and light charcoal fluid that lot's of people buy. So believe me when I tell you that this video helps allot of us that don't want to admit our ignorance. Thank you much. Jim :-)

  • Thank you for this video T Roy! Last year was the first full season I could bbq, and I was struggling with my charcoal, using lighter fluid. When the charcoal was ready, the heat wasn’t balanced, one side cold and the other side hot. I did the triangle method, letting my charcoal soak for about 5 minuets, but it was always a struggle. I considered buying a charcoal chimney, and I looked up videos here, and watched this video last night. Needless to say, I bought a charcoal chimney today, and the charcoal was the hottest I ever had it. This video helped, and I wanted to thank you!

I was surprised I did not use any lighter fluid. Did just like you balled up some paper and put the charcoal in. about 20 min. later I had fire. Most of it had burned down and turned white. I got one of these off set smokers still trying to learn how to use it. I tried that reverse searing, my steaks came out tasting like a roast. Nice and soft but dry.
