LIGHTING CHARCOAL

Lighting the Charcoal Using a

ChimneyStarter

The simplest, most thorough way to light any

kind of charcoal is to use a chimney starter;

particularly, the Weber

RapidFire

chimney

starter (sold separately). Refer to the cautions

and warnings included with the RapidFire

chimney starter before lighting.

1. Put a few sheets of wadded up newspaper in

the bottom of the chimney starter and set the

chimney starter on the charcoal grate (A); or

put a few lighter cubes in the center of the

charcoal grate and place the chimney starter

over them (B).

2. Fill the chimney starter with charcoal (C).

3. Light the lighter cubes or newspaper

through the holes on the side of the chimney

starter(D).

4. Keep the chimney starter in place until the

charcoal is fully lit. You can tell when the

charcoal is fully lit when it is covered with a

coating of white ash. This can take anywhere

from 15 to 20 minutes.

Note: The lighter cubes used must be completely

consumed and the coals ashed over before placing

food on the grate.

5. Once the charcoal is fully lit, continue to the

following pages for instructions on how to

arrange your charcoal and begin cooking

according to your desired cooking method

(Direct or Indirect method).

Lighting the Charcoal Using

LighterCubes

1. Build a pyramid of charcoal in the center of

the charcoal (bottom) grate and insert a couple

of lighter cubes (sold separately) within the

pyramid (E).

2. Using a long match or lighter, light the lighter

cubes. The lighter cubes will then ignite the

charcoal.

3. Wait for the charcoal to fully light. You can tell

when the charcoal is fully lit when it is covered

with a coating of white ash. This can take

anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.
