Found it's best to roll up the paper in long lengths and wrap around the insides to allow a hole in the center allowing air flow upwards. This works much better than placing wads of it in the whole bottom. Saw Alton Brown demonstrate that, and he adds some cooking oil on the paper too.

good video and it showed another newbie like me how its going to work..got a couple of laughs out of it as well...thanks ed!

I came here to find out if I could wing it my first time using a charcoal grill, and Ed, you gave me the courage I needed.

Thanks for the video, was educational and entertaining! Just what I needed to watch.

Ahhhh so close to the house!!! Great video though!! Made me giggle a couple times!! I am going to go get one myself now! Thanks for the video!

Just bought one of these yesterday. Made the mistake of filling it all the way up and dumping them all in my grill. Brought it to over 500 with the lid closed. I only really needed half. Lesson learned. Awesome chimney starter though.

Way to go Ed! Thanks for the tip. Just bought mine. They were right

Sold me. After another weekend of food an hour late I need this. Good to see someone using one first though.

Can't wait to get mine. Should make grilling in the winter easier. Don't have to worry about the wind blowing out the flames on my " pyramid".

make sure when dumping the hot coals to dump in the same direction as the wind. Nothing like some burning embers and smoke in your face.

made me laugh buddie,,,very funny !!! hope you meal was just as good

Fantastic video, love the laughing in the background! Had me laughing myself silly and had to keep rewinding the bit where you looked into the hot coals!🤣🤣 Hope your food tasted just as good?

LMAOOOO you 'bout burnt your face off didn't ya fella??? oh my God that was HILARIOUS!

Your set up is mighty close to your siding. In the event of stray flame possible damage to paint job or burn down wall

Love this video!!

Maybe move your grill a little further from your home (at least your siding)...but great video for starting it!!!! THANK YOU!!!

best presentation ever.

Thanks for the vid, need this for tomorrow

L Derby well worth it and you really don't need more then one small piece of paper to get it going other ways might be faster but this is very easy and you can prep other things and just leave it alone

Really funny video. Another way to light the chimney is with 2 lighter fluid cubes. Put then on the bottom. Light them up. Put the chimney on top of the fire. Then poor out on half side of the BBQ so you have your hot side and low heat side for like Hot dogs. Buns, etc...

Roll your paper (about 3 sheets) into thin roles and then put them in around edges leaving a hole in the middle for air.

recommended at least three feet away from the house, I responded to a couple of fires caused by a BBQ too close

The lady that is giggling sounds like she is complete peace 😌

And on top of a wood deck and close to the house wall!!

Hello from Poland. I'm going to buy one. Thanks.

Awesome!!! Cheers 🤘

Lol ,very funny and camera lady made it better😉

Why you keep your grill so close to the house?

2 pieces of newspaper works great!

Newspaper? Will it work if I fold up my cell phone and stuff it under there?

Brand new grill, but Ed, your using the wrong briquettes man, I could tell by the amount of dust coming out the bag. Kingsford son, cleanest burn, best flavor.

Holy crap that was a lot of paper. I'm still just trying to figure out what is so funny that the camera lady kept laughing. Also, FYI, you may not want to start a fire right up next to your house like that. If the fire get out of control, it can spread to your house.

B T K is now doing ads for charcoal chimneys. Interesting twist.😂

Is this in Canada?

Also that grill needs to be pull further out in the yard. not near close to the wall where you can loose your home dear god. must be safe.

I ordered the Weber Mastertouch this morning and it is supposed to be included (from what I've seen in other videos), so will see if we have them over here. That might solve a lot of my problems if I do get it.. Otherwise I'll have to get something made

I've been using a chimney starter for years... use gloves. The temperature of the handle is irrelevant.

Take about 2 to 3 cotton balls and soak them with alcohol then light them up and set the chimney over them on your grill. much better then using paper.

I would definitely burn this not near the house! Dang it!

How about skipping the paper and use charcoal light fluid in moderation - more on the bottom and less as you go up

Why not place charcoal in the grill,apply starter fluid,wait a few minutes,ignite fire,mix another drink while waiting on the fire???

For those who are serious about their BBQ lighter fluid is sacrilege. The fumes from the lighter fluid cooks into the food.

@feng443

I guess you can drop some lighter fluid on newspaper to speed up the burning. The fluid will burn out way before the charcoal is ready.

You have a GAS grill in the background. Why don't you use THAT???

Do not make a fire close to your house.

Olá amigo, só faltou colocar a carne para ficar um vídeo completo, parabéns, abraço 🤗
