    When he said lighter fluid I was like are you shitting me? Then he tossed it like a boss and I was like, my man!
  • I just lit my charcoal grill on the first try with the help of a chimney starter, and this very informative video. Thank you for making it!
  • Used mine this evening as it got delivered this morning, and how fast my charcoal was ready to cook with, great tool.  Thank you for the introduction.

    We've watched this three times, so far. We have learned not to rush the process. Thanks so much for your videos.

    Loved this video! I have never used one of those and was debating between the electric starter and this option. I not only liked the way that you explained things but I love your humble spirit ...anytime you deal with the Internet , social media etc...you can expect all the " experts" to come out of the woodwork lol ..you handle yourself so well ...❤❤❤thanks for the tips

    Btw, you can use burned down charcoal. It’s completely ok. Put it in the chimney bc it will light quickly and help light the new charcoal. Your food will not taste any different from using left over charcoal.

    I never knew how to start a bar-b-q fire, now I feel I can do it. Thank you so very much for sharing. Blessings !

    Thank you for this video! I finally picked up my chimney starter and I’m looking forward to using it!
  • @redhattedwriter
    Thank you very helpful.  Got my first chimney, watched this video and I was good to go.
  • I love how you tossed the lighter fluid away. I learned about the chimney starter 7 years ago, and I haven't touched lighter fluid since then.

    Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate how YOU choose to do this. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Even if I don’t end up doing it exactly you way, it was really helpful and worth my time to watch. 😀

    This video was exactly what i needed, looked at like, three other videos and they beat around the bush trying to point out every tiny feature and be all scientific about it, your video was on point!

    Thank for this video, clear instructions, very helpful! I'm actually getting a Weber Kettle Grill tomorrow and this will help a lot once I put the thing together haha. I used to have a gas grill and it was old and decided to change it up, so as a first-time charcoal grill owner this will be a good video to reference once I get started.

    Thanks a lot. I have seen this done on cooking shows, but they run through it so fast, you really can't tell. This gave me all I need to know.

    6:38 "this can either make enemies or friends of your neighbors depending on if you share what you're cooking"😂
  • @udaymq7328
    WOW! Me and my wife love the way you explain things...
  • Thanks I'm going to grill early in the morning and surprise my husband, for Father's y. Great video 👍
  • @civlengr68
    I liked this video. The information was specific to my situation and I immediately went out and bought a starter that was made in the USA. Thanks man!
  • 10yrs later still great video. Good, easy listening, straight to the point with a little bit of side humor. Thanks for the video….😊
  • @monzsterman
    Had a chance to finally use the rolled up newspaper like you do in the video. Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot man!
