TWO METHODS TO USE ARE RECOMMENDED:

Light A Chimney Starter Using Lighter Cubes or Fire Starter Squares:

A clean and easy way to light a charcoal chimney starter is with Lighter Cubes or Fire Starter Squares.

Place one or two lighter cubes or fire starter squares on the charcoal grate and light them. then place the chimney over the burning cubes.

Light A Chimney Starter Using Newspaper:

Using newspaper is the original way to light a charcoal chimney starter. Using a double-wide sheet of newspaper, roll loosely on the diagonal from one corner to the other. Bring the ends together to form a donut that fits inside the chimney starter. Repeat with a second sheet of newspaper. Place the two newspaper donuts in the bottom of the chimney. Note that this leaves a hole in the center for air to flow up through the newspaper for faster lighting. Light the newspaper of charcoal chimney starter in several locations using a fire lighter.

NOTE:

The charcoal is ready when you see orange color deep inside the chimney starter, flames licking at the charcoal at the top of the chimney. And gray ash just starting to form on some of the charcoal at the top. If you wait for all the charcoal at the top of the chimney to be fully ashed-over, much of the charcoal in the bottom of the chimney will be spent, so go ahead and dump the charcoal into your cooker when it looks orange color deep inside the charcoal starter.

Remember that a chimney starter will hot for a while even after the charcoal has been poured out.

Never place a chimney starter on or near flammable materials like a wooden deck or dry grass.

The most safest locations to light a chimney is on the charcoal grill grate.
