Ways to Light Charcoal

This infographic breaks down 6 different methods for lighting your grill, highlighting which options are highly recommended and which ones should be avoided. It features KINGBE TOMAHAWK CHARCOAL, a premium coconut shell briquette product.

Recommended Methods (Low Smoke)

These methods are marked with a red star, indicating they are the cleanest and most efficient ways to get your fire started:

• Fire starter + lighter: Place the fire starter directly in the grill and light it. It produces very low smoke and is highly recommended.

• Kindling wood + lighter: Similar to the fire starter, you place the kindling wood directly in the grill and light it for a clean, low-smoke start.

• Gas Stove Method: Place your charcoal briquettes directly on top of a kitchen gas stove. Wait until the charcoal catches fire, and then safely transfer it into your BBQ grill.

Not Recommended Methods (High Smoke)

These methods should generally be avoided because they produce an unpleasant amount of smoke:

• Tissue + cooking oil + lighter: While it works, soaking tissues in cooking oil creates a heavy amount of smoke.

• Newspaper + lighter: Burning old newspapers to light charcoal also creates excessive smoke and ash flyaways.

The Fun & Easy Shortcut

Summary: For the best grilling experience without choking on heavy smoke, stick to using dedicated fire starters, kindling wood, or pre-heating the briquettes on a gas stove. Avoid using tissues with oil or newspapers to keep your cooking area clean.
