Refused to use liquid for ignition. 3 homemade coal ignition products without chemicals for a penny

We all love to get together in nature with family or friends. We also love to light a fire to make a delicious barbecue. Everyone is just saying how dangerous it is to use a liquid for ignition.

I found information on the Internet that even V. Maltsev (president of the Barbecue League) believes that such a liquid is dangerous and harmful. Do not light the fire with any flammable cooking materials.

Somehow on the Internet I read that you can make a homemade means for igniting from ordinary cotton pads.

Melt a candle in a water bath, and then moisten prepared cotton pads with tweezers. Then dry it and take it with you on a hike, fishing, etc. But I am too lazy to make such paraffin discs on purpose.

The liquid for ignition also contains paraffin, which settles in a layer on meat and other products. Then we eat it all and wonder where such an unpleasant taste comes from. I think the chemicals that are sold on grocery counters in stores are enough for us.

Therefore, I will never again use this liquid to cook food on charcoal.

But how quickly to light coals in a grill or fire? First I used regular vegetable oil.

A small amount of rast should be poured over the coals. oils. Used the cheapest one. Next, you need to wait a while for the coals to soak. Minutes 2-5 are usually enough. Then light it up with long matches. Compared to liquid ignition rast. the oil ignites more slowly. But if you use a burner, it will be faster. The oil burns hotter and longer, and the paraffin-based liquid evaporates quickly.

But then it grew. stopped using oil. The smoke from the oil is strong causticmaybe strong smoke up whole kebab.

There is another option. Its plus is that the product is environmentally friendly and fade slowly. The coals will give off heat evenly. The liquid burns out first, and then the base. Another plus: you need very little of this "gel", just moisten the coals and it will last for a long time. By the way, there is one trick: sprinkle the coals with salt so that the barbecue on the grill does not burn.

So, let's prepare a gel from soap and an intoxicating strong drink (we all know what this is about). Any soap is possible, but it is better to use household soap. First, three grated soap (1 part). Then we dilute it with "intoxicating" liquid (4-6 parts). For better mixing, you can warm up the soap in a water bath. The result is a mixture like a gel.
