If you don’t use a charcoal chimney to light charcoal, it’s time to start. Charcoal chimneys allow you to safely & conveniently light charcoal for a grill or smoker. Just crumple up some old newspaper & stick it in the space below the metal divider in the charcoal chimney & place the chimney on a charcoal grate on a grill or smoker. Then, load the area above the metal divider with your desired amount of charcoal. Use a lighter to light the newspaper through the large vent holes. Wait 10-20 Min (depending on the amount of charcoal) until most of the briquettes are partially covered in white ash & then your charcoal is ready to go!
