You must light it on a safe platform such as a charcoal grate or fire-safe bricks. Make sure to have heat resistant gloves on hand. Place a folded newspaper inside of the starter, place right side up and fill with charcoal, light newspaper in multiple places, after burning, wait 10 minutes and your charcoal should have started heating up a lot. The charcoal is ready when you can see bits of orange on them.
