LIGHTING

 

• Our charcoal is almost pure carbon and will light without any petroleum-based starting fluids.  

• Use parts of the Real Charcoal bag at the bottom of a traditional chimney starter. Once you see flames, add some charcoal pieces. This is enough to  ignite the pieces around it. Remove the chimney before the coals glow red hot.

• If you use a propane or MAPP torch, wear leather gloves and safety glasses.

• If you use starter sticks and gels, buy the all-natural kind and ensure that they are completely burned before to you place food on the grill.

• Keep the grill away from trees and shrubs

 

EXTINGUISHING

 

• Close the lid of the grill or smoker to deprive the charcoal of oxygen

• Leave the grill for 48 hours before moving it inside or removing ash

• Unburned charcoal can be re-lit with new charcoal placed on top.

• Don't use water to extinguish burning charcoal. Let it finish naturally.
