Lighting charcoal briquettes without lighter fluid is easy with this homemade Charcoal Chimney

Materials Needed

• A charcoal chimney (see How to Make a charcoal chimney or #Amazon's Related Products)

Lighting the Charcoal

• Begin by filling your charcoal chimney to the top with charcoal
• Loosely wad a sheet of newspaper and place it under the chimney in the center of your grill
• CAREFULLY light the paper through the air holes (you may have to lift the chimney to get to the paper and light from underneath)
  • You may have to do this more than once, I had to do it twice for this tutorial.
• Once the Charcoal begins to wait a while and it will flame on and ignite the rest of the coal in the chimney
• When the charcoal in the chimney is ashen white (see Fig.5 ) then put on your oven mits, be EXTREMELY CAREFUL and dump the coals into your grill
• spread them evenly with your tongs
• Barbecue away!
