Chimney cleaning for a safe winter

Char-Griller Charcoal Chimney Starter

Like many grillers, I started with charcoal briquettes. They’re easy to use and provide consistent heat, which is why they’re so popular. But a few years ago, I switched to lump charcoal for hot and fast grilling, and I haven’t looked back. Lump charcoal burns hotter, lights faster, and, in my opinion, gives the meat a better, more natural flavor. One key difference is the chemical makeup: lump charcoal is pure, carbonized wood with no fillers or additives, giving it a natural wood-fire flavor.

Using instant charcoal is frowned upon in the BBQ community, but who cares? Sit your charcoal on one side, light it, let it burn for 10-15 minutes until it's whitish-gray, and the rest is history. To control the temp adjust vent. Prefer reg charcoal? Use a chimney starter: light it, wait 15 minutes, then dump the coals into the grill. It's easy, and you'll never fear grilling again for the win. | bwoodcooks
