Hey Coleman, I just had to say a big THANK YOU for these tips. I recently bought a Weber Summit Komado and did not have any firestarters around when I went to do the initial burn in. So i went to the bathroom and grabbed the petroleum jelly and cotton balls and 3 minutes later there is fire! I have use them for the first 3 cooks and now I am looking at getting that mason jar full. They work awesome!! Thanks for the great tip!

Hey, nice video, thanks! I might end up with the torch. Do you think it might be the best way to produce the least possible amount of smoke? I had some issues with my neighbours, and I try to find a solution (if it even exists..) to not to make so much smoke. Thanks for the reply, if you can!

@GrillinandChillinwithColeman

Жыл бұрын

Thank you my friend, o appreciate you watching. The torch will definitely help with the smoke as lighter fluid or any other fire starters have oil in them and will smoke. I am not sure if you can completely eliminate it, but also using hardwood lump charcoal instead of charcoal briquettes will also help. Briquettes have a binder in them that produce some smoke. I hope that helps.

What is the advantage of inverting the chimney when lighting just a few coals?

@GrillinandChillinwithColeman

3 ай бұрын

Just easier to reach them when using less charcoal. Also, most chimneys, the bottom grate is dished up, allowing for better airflow. When flipping it over, it causes it to dish down. This holds the briquettes closer together when using less charcoal. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
