Why Use a Charcoal Grill?

Charcoal grills provide exceptional flavor, offering a smoky, robust taste that enhances any food. They’re versatile and allow for a range of cooking techniques, from searing to slow cooking. With the Arteflame grill, you can enjoy the added benefits of a flat steel cooktop and intense heat zones for optimal grilling.

What You’ll Need

Before lighting your grill, gather the necessary supplies:

  • Charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal
  • Vegetable oil
  • Three paper napkins or paper towels
  • Long-handled lighter or matches
  • Tongs or a fire poker

Step-by-Step Guide to Starting a Charcoal Grill

1. Clean Your Grill

Start by ensuring your grill is clean and free of ash or debris from previous uses. This allows for proper airflow and efficient burning. Every Arteflame Grill has an air ventilation system built into the fire base plate, make sure the vents around the outside of the fire base are open. This will allow proper airflow.

2. Προετοιμάστε τον εκκινητή πυρκαγιάς σας

  • Take three paper napkins or paper towels and lightly coat them with vegetable oil.
  • Place the oiled napkins underneath the charcoal pile. This acts as an excellent fire starter, providing enough burn time to ignite the charcoal. Make sure the napkins don't lie completely flat on the solid steel fire base. Crinkle them up a bit so they light better

3. Κανονίστε το κάρβουνο σας

  • Place your charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal in a pyramid shape in the center of the grill.
  • For an Arteflame grill, focus on creating a concentrated pile over the center grate for higher heat, or spread it slightly for even cooking.
  • If you are also using wood, go ahead and place the wood over top of the charcoal.

4. Φωτίστε τον εκκινητή πυρκαγιάς

  • Use a long-handled lighter or matches to ignite the oiled napkins.
  • Ensure the flame catches on the paper and starts to light the edges of the charcoal.

Ακρο: Σταθείτε πίσω για να αποφύγετε την επαφή με τη φλόγα και να παρακολουθείτε τη φωτιά για να εξασφαλίσετε ότι εξαπλώνεται.

5. Περιμένετε να περάσει ο κάρβουνος

  • Allow the charcoal to burn until it becomes ashy and develops a white coating. This process usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • During this time, the coals will heat up and turn red-hot in the center.

Αντιμετώπιση προβλημάτων κοινά ζητήματα

  • Charcoal Not Lighting: Ensure the napkins are adequately coated with oil and placed under the charcoal.
  • Fire Dying Quickly: Add more oiled napkins if the flame doesn’t fully ignite the charcoal. Sometimes when the fire doesn't catch, it's easier to just start over.
  • Uneven Heat: Rearrange the coals using tongs to create uniform coverage.
  • Patience: Be patient! The common joke is that the fire will be the perfect temperature an hour after you're done grilling. LOL.
  • Start Early: It's better to light the grill too early than too late. When just starting out, give yourself an hour or more. Remember: you can always add more charcoal or wood to keep the fire going but it's hard to make the grill heat up faster.
