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.

Can any gas grill use ceramic briquettes?
Yes, most gas grills can use ceramic briquettes, but it's important to check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure compatibility. Ceramic briquettes help distribute heat more evenly and can enhance flavor by retaining and radiating heat. However, if your grill is designed for specific types of fuel or cooking methods, using briquettes may affect performance or warranty. Always follow the grill's instructions for optimal use.
What are the easiest lighting briquettes?
Briquettes come in different forms and types. There are biomass briquettes, charcoal briquettes, wood (or sawdust) briquettes, ceramic briquettes and peat briquettes. The ceramic briquettes are most commonly used in gas grills. It appears that the sawdust briquettes are the easiest to light.
Do you still use lava rocks in gas grills mine came with none?
Lava rocks are not commonly used in modern gas grills, as they have largely been replaced by ceramic briquettes or other materials that provide better heat distribution and require less maintenance. If your grill didn't come with lava rocks, it's likely designed to operate without them. You can use your gas grill effectively without them, but if you prefer the benefits of enhanced heat retention and flavor, you can consider adding ceramic briquettes instead.
Adding Flavor To Natural Gas barbecue Grills?
One of the main features of natural gas barbecue grills is that the fuel burns very cleanly and does not interfere with the taste of food. This feature, however, also keeps some people from using a natural gas grill because it does not provide a charcoal barbecue flavor. Some manufacturers have developed special briquettes that can be placed in a natural gas grill. These briquettes provide hardwood or charcoal flavors to food. The briquettes last a fairly long time and can be reused in the natural gas grill until all of the material has burned way.
Do you need briquettes for a gas bbq?
Yes!If you put enough charcoal in only a small amount falls out.keep a water bucket nearby in case a grass fire starts from fallen charcoals. The charcoal probably will clog the gas jets and ignitor after awhile. Besides, the flavor comes from the drippings hitting the hot surfaces, not the charcoal. Not recommended.
What makes a ceramic barbeque grill better than a typical grill?
Ceramic barbeque grills are more expensive than typical gas BBQ grills. This is because ceramic grills can retain much more heat than a BBQ grill and have no parts that can wear out or need maintenance. The ceramic grills can be used for your lifetime without any need for replacements. Ceramic grills also don't cause any gas flares and can be used to cook pizzas too.
What kind of briquettes should you use for a propane gas bbq?
Lava briquettes
Do you have to put lava rocks at the bottom of the gas grill for protection of the heat?
No, you don't need to put lava rocks at the bottom of a gas grill for heat protection. Gas grills are designed to operate without them, using burners to distribute heat evenly. However, some people choose to use lava rocks or ceramic briquettes to help retain and distribute heat, enhance flavor, or create a more even cooking surface. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference.
What is the difference in taste between a charcoal grill and a gas grill?
A charcoal grill is filled with charcoal pieces called "briquettes," which once set on fire will burn for some time. Gas grills are powered by propane gas, which is stored in a tank and attached to the side of the grill. Cooking with charcoal adds a smokey, charred flavor to meat, while propane gas is flavorless and so provides a cleaner cooking experience.
If there is mold on charcoal briquets will it hurt you to use the gas grill?
Using moldy charcoal briquettes in a gas grill isn't recommended, as the mold can release harmful spores when burned. While gas grills typically use propane or natural gas, any residual mold or contaminants could potentially affect the food being cooked. It's best to discard any moldy briquettes to ensure safe grilling. Always prioritize food safety and cleanliness in your grilling practices.

Why Choose A Ceramic Grill?
Ceramic BBQ grills have many advantages over traditional gas grills. Ceramic grills are easier to clean because they get much hotter in temperature and will burn everything down to ash which can simply be emptied. They do not have all the parts that a traditional gas grill has, so there is less risk of something breaking. They are cheaper to operate too - the fuel is about half the cost as traditional propane.
