Use a chimney starter
This simple, but effective method uses a chimney starter to ignite smoky barbecues. This is safer than using lighter fluid and doesn't require you to use petroleum to ignite the coal.

You should not buy a bottle for cleaning products as it may contain harmful chemicals. This could make the spray taste odd. You should also make sure to clean the bottle thoroughly after each use.

To help children remember to stay away, you can use masking and painter’s tape. Make sure children are not allowed to touch lighters or any other fire-starting tools.
Take care
To avoid a burning fire when grilling, you need to be careful. First, ensure there is enough space for your food. You should not overload the grill and avoid placing fatty meats on it. This can cause drips and a fire. Also, be sure to set the grill on a flat, stable surface. This will keep the grill from tipping over and burning your food.
Grilling is a popular summer activity, but it's important to be safe to avoid injury and property damage. The National Fire Protection Association estimates that grills account for nearly 10% of all home fires. Grills are responsible for approximately 4,600 home fires every year. 12 people are killed in these fires and $150 million is damaged or lost as a result. This can be caused by many things, including grilling too close to fires or leaving the grill unattended.
Also, you should not grill so close to buildings. This is especially important for pets and children. Young children can easily get burnt by a hot grill. A grill can be dangerous as it can release large amounts of grease, which can ignite and cause fire.
Dealing with small flare-ups
Flare-ups are possible if your grill is not properly maintained. You can prevent flare-ups by removing excess fat from meat before placing it on the grill. You can also use oil sparingly. Avoid flipping your meat over too many times, since this can cause the meat to lose its juices and fat.
Flare-ups can occur when oils or fats from your meat drip onto coals. It causes a small flame. While these small flames are harmless, large ones can ruin your grilled food. Therefore, it is important to learn how to prevent flare-ups and avoid them while grilling.
Flare-ups could occur if you put food on the barbecue. However, if you use indirect heat you can avoid them. Flare-ups can also be caused by food being cooked over open flames. If the flare up is preventing your cooking, you can turn off the flames or place a lid on the grill.
Use a grill with two-zone flames to prevent small flare-ups during grilling. This will keep the chicken's skin from becoming too dry. You should also move your items away from the flames to prevent small flare-ups. If your grill has heating racks, you can place your items on them if they are needed. If not, you can transfer them to another plate to keep them warm.
