Skip the lighter fluid and use Chef David Rose’s natural method for lighting your charcoal grill. Lighter fluid contains chemicals and additives which will affect and alter the glorious flavors of your Omaha Steaks proteins. Instead use all-natural charcoal starters or olive oil. To use olive oil to start a fire, soak charcoal with 1/3 cup of olive oil and saturate four to five paper towels with 1/3 cup of olive oil. Light paper towels and top with three to four coals. You’ll have a fire in no time.

Thanks for the info, bout to try this now. I've never used lump charcoal
we use gel alchohol
Idky why that part when u press tha torch then said never is so funny to me 😂🫡👍🏾
I'll have to use this advice.I did not know that
Olive oil is wasted money. Use the cheap oil you can find or better yet is what I do: leftover oil from frying.
Dude must be rich to use olive oil like that
I use palm oil, don’t want to waste my olive oil 😅
Amazing stuff
I started up mine with paper at the bottom then adding small twigs then bigger thicker tree branches and used vegetable oil as a sorta starter fluid . then charcoal of course . Got it giving tremendous heat with red hot coils
Haha I like this guy, he’s funny 😆
I got some olive oil laying around, but I wonder if I can do it with any kind of cooking oil ..
Heck ya! Just got my first charcoal and used the chimney with a paper towel covered in olive oil. Then built a charcoal pyramid over the lit paper towel, worked like a charm!
Yeah quick light charcoal says forget all of that extra work 😂
But paper towels contain chemicals. Traditional paper towels often contain dyes, inks, fragrances, chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, and adhesives. These chemicals are used in the manufacturing process to enhance the paper's appearance, strength, and absorbency
You can pry my lighter fluid from my cold dead hands😡
This worked very well!! No more lighter fluid! I just need to convince my husband!🫣🙄Mr Ol school.😂
ANTON! Get Slimmy off here FAM!! Out of all the panels I’ve watched, this dude is literally worse than a damn sensitive woman. I know he doesn’t get women or can even keep one Fareal. Dude is a GIRL
Wonderful jem of the day 🌿🙏
Nice tip 😮
I’m watching to see a easier way to start without lighter fluid or oil but to point out an error the smoke composition the charcoal produces once it’s turned into some white cooking coals isn’t any different from using lighter fluid or not; the use of lighter fluid should be absolutely avoided outside of starting the fire with coals but it does not effect the smoke taste coals or flavor
Thank you for your instructions and video! Olive Oil worked right away! A++!!
AMAZING! First time really trying to grill (on my own) in a while and I was struggling. I just poured on the olive oil and I was shocked to see it light! Ty!!
Thank you brother! I knew there was a better way.
Thank you.❤❤❤❤
Thanks bro 👍🏾
BS. Once your charcoal is white the lighter fluid is gone. Please do not do olive oil. Olive oil is expensive AF and you will be wasting money. This will be especially true if you use "real" olive oil which is way more expensive than the fake stuff that says its olive oil that you find in the stores.
Fist time smoker here. My confidence level was -100 now thanks to you I’m gaining so much confidence. Thank you 1,000,000 times
I use matchstick charcoal
Thanks brother it works! Happy grilling everyone
That’s why you cook the charcoal til it’s grey it literally burns it all off 😂
Olive oil is too damn expensive
Can I use normal cooking oil
