Lets Start The Grill

 When it comes to outdoor cooking, nothing can be better than grilling with charcoal. No matter what recipe is used, nothing can compare with those that were cooked with a charcoal grill. Using petroleum-based fuels to start the fire tends to leave an unpleasant taste to the food being prepared so it is best not to resort to those.

 Starting the fire can be done by following a few steps. First, put enough charcoal pieces on the bottom of the grill. The amount should be according to the size of the grill and the type of food preparation. Secondly, an electric starter can be placed on top of the base coals and more coals can be placed over it. That is the only time that the electric started should be plugged. After 10 minutes or so, it will produce small flames and at that time, the electric starter can be removed. It would be very hot so it is important to use correct utensils and wear protection such as holders.

 Those who do not wish to use an electric starter can resort to using a chimney starter. The first step is by lining it with dry newspaper along its sides. The amount of newspaper should leave a cavity in the middle which would be filled with coals. After that, use matches to light the newspaper in different points. It would be enough to spread the flames up the chimney starter so the next step is to wait for all the coals to be engulfed in flames. That is the time that they can be used for grilling purposes. Big tongs with plastic handles would provide protection for moving the coals into the grill
