Ep4. How to light charcoal without chimney | Charcoal grilling for beginners

In this episode of Charcoal grilling for beginners, I will show how to light charcoal without a Chimney starter. No lighter fluid needed. In my experience this has been the easiest way, and it will take you up to 15-20 minutes to have a decent heat going.
If you have any questions about this topic, please feel free to write them in the section below and I will be glad to help you!

Thanks mate..first time charcoal BBQ borrowed from my mate but left the chimney behind out of ignorance...you've given me hope that it is still possible to commence without

[@marlonmarcano3269]

I really appreciated this video buddy. Where I live we done have the chimneys so this worked for me. Thanks.

[@stephaniethompson7995]

very helpful, thank you

[@stephensano9156]

Bravo! The best idea goes to you my friend! You create a chimney starter out of the grill bottom and it works!

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Thanks 👊 🔥

[@rcyvgrcyvg3122]

Do you put the lid while you wait? Or leave it open ?

[@victory01]

I would leave it open for more air flow

[@machyne82]

If you are in a pinch this is a good tip!

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Yep, I agree with you 👍🔥

Looks so easy when u do it😂

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Thanks! It is very easy, you just need to try once

[@PranavIyer5]

where do you live , nice background

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Thanks! It is our backyard and I live in Finland

[@StuieSheps]

The chimney starter is much quicker as it's concentrated heat.

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

I agree with you! This is my way to go when I do not happen to have the chimney with me 😅

[@kludgybrains3459]

Thank you

[@princeofpenangisland]

How hard this can be? 😄

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Haha well when I started grilling many years ago, this was an issue for me (I did not have a chimney starter at that point 😅). So I was as much beginner as one can be! And at that point this info would have been much appreciated 😂

[@jamelmanning4462]

Don’t even have to do all that 😂

[@MS-uj8dg]

I will never do it this way 😂

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Haha no problem! You should do it the way that works the best for you! Thanks for stopping by

[@greenfefo_fpv465]

This is so Argentinian way! Also, i dont think you need to go into such specific detail on every step lol

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Argentinian way? I was not aware of it! Thanks for the feedback bro!

[@autumnleighh4379]

I disagree. As a beginner, I appreciate every detail!

[@emilioracing5566]

Too much paper means too much ash flying and falling on your food

[@willysmith2990]

Ok, so I just use the chimney.

[@politickery9412]

He says he's going to light charcoal without a chimney, but then uses a cooker that's basically an over-wide inefficient chimney. Just use a tubular chimney until the coals get going and dump them out in a regular grill. He's spent 14 minutes getting to the point where he says he can add more charcoal and get ready to cook. With a regular chimney, I'm eating by that time. Google charcoal chimney if you've never seen one. Once you try it, you'll never go back! Nightly cook-outs become as quick and easy as stove-top.

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Haha well I did not think my kettle would act as chimney, so in that sense you are right lol. I totally agree with you, a chimney starter gets the job done way faster! That is my preferred method to light charcoal. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers

[@SirPraiseSun]

Dude sd..f u no1 wants to buy stock in ur chimney u just need to heat the charcoal doesnt matter where 🤡🖕

[@SirPraiseSun]

Americans are so blunt and complicate everything like hsing a hand extension to turn a door handle its really mental illness and brainwashed indoctrination

[@crxvtec0069]

Dude no offense man and please don’t take this the wrong way, but with all the time and effort you spent gathering branches, stacking the charcoal etc you could have just tossed some charcoals into a chimney starter and been done with it. The point of a chimney is how quick and easy it is with basically zero effort. You don’t have to stack anything, you just toss them and light it. That’s it. With this, there’s just too many steps and too much time taken up. Just sayin. It’s like yeah, you could do it without a chimney, and I grew up that way too lighting them manually without one but why work harder and spend more time if you don’t have to? Also, with a chimney you don’t need any lighter fluid.

[@PitmasterOntheWay]

Thanks for the comment and don't worry no offense taken 👍! I agree with you. It is way easier with a chimney starter (this is how I do it all the time). Few occasions when I have not had it at hand, this is how I was able to get over the hump

[@davidshemesh8241]

This is specifically with no chimney. Not everyone has a chimney when starting. Waste of a comment tbh read the title

[@crxvtec0069]

@@davidshemesh8241 I’m not the only that commented how much time he wasted trying to re invent the wheel when it comes to lighting a grill. Anyone could buy a chimney for $15 bucks at Walmart boom done. He wasted a TON OF TIME

[@davidshemesh8241]

@@crxvtec0069 yea but no need to hate on someone who’s doing nothing but good helping people out.

[@robyntravers5433]

It’s actually not difficult without a chimney it’s much more straight forward. Why take an additional piece of equipment to add the charcoal to only to light it up and then pour the charcoal into the grill, when you can just add everything into the grill at once? I truthfully think the chimney is just another step and yet another thing to spend money on unnecessarily.

Dude literally copied the last guys video 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️
