Impressive Charcoal Light Up Technique

A simple way to light up charcoal is to neatly stack charcoal to a height and light up fire starter as illustrated below. The important trick is to wait patiently for the charcoal to be red hot before spreading out. 

1. Stack up fire starter in a pyramid formation at the centre of the BBQ pit and surround it with charcoal.
2. Stack charcoal neatly into a pile until fire starter is covered.
3. Light up the fire starter with a piece of paper or matchstick.
4. Leave it burning for at least 15 mins till coal is red hot. Spread coals evenly and start grilling.

Warning: Do not light charcoal inside an indoor enclosed area, it is a potential fire hazard.
