How Do You Get Charcoal To Light?
To light charcoal, you can use a chimney starter, which is a metal cylinder with holes in the bottom and a handle on the side. Fill the chimney with charcoal and place crumpled newspaper or fire starters in the bottom. Light the newspaper or fire starters, and the heat will rise through the chimney and ignite the charcoal. Once the charcoal is glowing red and covered in ash, it is ready to be spread out and used for cooking.
