    Default How to start a charcoal grill

    i just got a new charcoal grill and was wondering how to keep the flame up the whole time for those really nice "grill marks". Also, the flame seems to die down and cool off a little bit after the meat is on and the cover is on. any suggestions would be great

    It's supposed to cool down. You don't want the open flame taste from charcoal in your meat. Light the coals, let them burn, let the flame die down then add meat.

    I use one of those starter packets, put it under the coals, light it up.............wait until the coals are white hot and then throw the meat on it.

    Get the grill super hot of course...But if you coat the meat or whatever in olive oil...IT WILL FLAME UP!!! But you have to watch it so it will not burn!
    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

    we use an electric started....using any sort of fluid ruins the taste of the mean, the elerctic starter gets the coals burning and doesn't ruin the taste....WIN in my book
