It's not recommended to use Zippo lighter fluid to start a barbecue grill. While it is a flammable substance, it is designed for use with Zippo lighters and may contain additives that could impart undesirable flavors to your food. Instead, use proper grilling starters like charcoal lighter fluid or natural fire starters that are specifically made for grills to ensure safety and enhance flavor.

What do I need to buy to use a portable BBQ grill?
You will first need to decide whether you want a portable gas grill or a portable charcoal grill. If you want gas, you will need to purchase a small bottle of propane which easily attaches to your grill. If you prefer a charcoal grill, you will need to purchase charcoal and lighter fluid. Some brands of charcoal offer quick start by lighting the bag so you don't have to purchase the fluid. Just don't forget to bring a lighter or matches.
Using Barbecue Gas Effectively?
When selecting barbecue gas, it's generally best to go with propane. Propane, as a certain animated Texan can tell you, is cleaner burning and doesn't affect the flavor of the meat. When using lighter fluid to start the grill, you generally want to make sure not to use enough to affect the meat's flavor, either. Try to use just enough to get the charcoal started so that you can have that great charbroiled flavor without an aftertaste.
How do you place ceramic briquettes for gas grill?
Depending on which type of grill you are using, the steps you need to take are a little different. For a coal-burning grill, you want to use very little lighter fluid on top of the coals when starting the fire. Let them smolder a little bit before adding more fluid. That way you can manage the fire and apply lighter fluid as needed to keep the fire going. For gas grills, you have to be a bit more careful. I suggest using a long lighter--or better yet--a match. Start up the gas, and quickly place the match inside. If you let it run too long, it will cause a huge fire and repeat your previous situation.
How to heat up a charcoal grill effectively?
To heat up a charcoal grill effectively, start by arranging the charcoal in a pyramid shape and then light it using either lighter fluid or a chimney starter.

The Magic of the Charcoal Grill?
A charcoal grill can spice up any summer day. All it takes is a few food items on the grill with family and friends to get a fantastic gathering started.

In fact, there are grilling contests done all around the nation every year. Grillers load up their charcoal grill and food items. They travel far and wide to compete with other grilling enthusiasts. The charcoal grill has been around for a long time. In the past couple of decades, people also grill on other types of grills. For instance, the gas grill is also popular. Many people like the ease of the gas grill. There is little mess or cleanup. However, the flavor of the charcoal can not be replaced by a gas grill. It is important to be careful when using the charcoal grill. There are fire hazards involved when cooking over an open flame. Thus, there should be someone to supervise the charcoal grill at all times. Building a fire requires a dry clean grill, charcoal, and lighter fluid. The charcoal should be spread out evenly over the bottom of the grill. Then, the lighter fluid should be spread over the charcoal. A flame is then used to ignite the fire, and the lighter fluid can be dispersed as needed to keep the fire going. At this point, the fire is very flammable. The lighter fluid will cause the fire to shoot very high. Also, it is important to make sure that the charcoal grill is away from the house by at least ten feet. If the grill is too close to the house, the flames could start a fire. In many apartment complexes the management does not allow barbecue grills on the patio. The renters have to barbecue in the open area away from the apartment. This is for the fire codes that exist in most areas. The apartment management must meet the fire regulations for the jurisdiction. In conclusion, grilling can be a lot of fun, but there must be precautions taken to keep the experience safe.

When To Replace Gas Barbecue Grill Burners?
The burners in a gas barbecue grill wear out every few years. Clogged or expanded burners are dangerous to use and will reduce the ability of the grill to cook food properly. Burners should be replaced as soon as they start to show significant amounts of rust on the surface or when they start to split along the edges where the flame exits. The burners should also be replaced if the holes have started to close and are preventing all of the flame from exiting in an even pattern.
