no.. only a pig puts the meat on the grill before the lighter fluid is burnt off
That's true.
[censored]. Ya gotta wait until the coals are covered with white ash before you put your food on. If not, your meal will taste like lighter fluid because there's still fluid *IN* that black-colored charcoal.
However, I don't worry about that 'cause I use lump & start it in a charcoal 'chimney' with a few crumpled sheets of newspaper. Don't have newspaper?? Whaddya think the supermarkets put that stack of weekly circulars right by the door for??

Heehee. But I'm serious.

You're supposed to use a chimney with lump and newspaper - well, sometimes we use wood that isn't preburned; it just takes a little longer to ignite. Anyway, that's how a good fire is supposed to be done. If someone is using briquettes and fluid, I can smell the rancidity a block away. It's nasty stuff.

Even putting that [censored] into my Weber Kettle is out of the question.

Like a civilized person. I seldom buy lump because I just can't afford it. I get briquets when they are really cheap, but I use a lot of well seasoned hickory wood, as my sister lives on an acre of mostly shagbark hickories.

It's 2007. There is no excuse for anyone to ever use naptha to start charcoal.

I've been using a chimney with charcoal briquettes. We want to try some lump this weekend. Is there anything different to do with the lump? Just newspaper and the chimney right? Get it going and dump into the grill, let it go white and I'm good to go?
Looking forward to grilling outside again. It's been a while. We just got some new patio furniture and are getting some outdoor heaters so we can actually be comfortable sitting outside. -- Caryn Caryn Nadelberg - Mommy to Sam and Queen of the May www.carynen.blogspot.com

I'll buy that!
you gotta give us low class suckas a break when it comes to higher preparation we just do what we've always done of course
AND that's why I'm here, to learn something useful.
I went on a fishing/camping trip with a friend of mine some 30+ years ago and we made the mistake of using ordinary gasoline as a charcoal lighter. What a learning lesson that was! The fumes kept coming out the dirt and flaring up for over an hour... the food was uneatable due to the taste of gasoline. I wish we'd had some good ol' charcoal lighter that day. 🙂

You don't even have to let it go white. With lump there's no nasty chemicals to burn off first. As soon as it's well lit you can dump it out and start cooking.

First you wrote,"When lighting charcoal, I always let the flames die out before I add the meat and shut the lid. otherwise... you will taste the lighter fluid."
Then you wrote, "WE SAID! WAIT TILL THE FLUID BURNS OFF"
Those are not the same thing. Just because "the flames die out," does not mean the petroleum distillate is burned off.

If you made an effort to use reasonable grammar, capitalization, punctuation, etc. you might get a better reaction.
