Charcoal Starters
Charcoal starters are tools designed to ignite charcoal quickly and efficiently for grilling or barbecuing. They come in various forms, including chimney starters, electric starters, and lighter fluid. A chimney starter, for example, uses a metal cylinder to hold charcoal and allows air to flow through, promoting faster ignition.
Using a charcoal starter eliminates the need for lighter fluid, which can impart unwanted flavors to food. Instead, they rely on natural materials like newspaper or kindling to create a flame. This method is not only safer but also more environmentally friendly, making it a popular choice among grilling enthusiasts.
