"Helpful Hints:

Using Lighter Fluid:

Never add lighter fluid after starting fire!
Never use gasoline to light a fire!

1. Remove cooking grill and stack Real Flavor Lump Charcoal into a pile on the charcoal rack. Use enough charcoal so that when coals are spread out, they extend a couple of inches past the food you're grilling.
2. Sprinkle charcoal with lighter fluid. Don't drench lump charcoal as you would briquets. Allow 30 seconds to one minute for the fluid to soak in.
3. Light charcoal in several places with a match or a butane charcoal lighter.
4. Wait 10-15 minutes until coals are ashed over. Spread out charcoal before grilling. Add more Real Flavor Lump Charcoal to the fire as needed.
