Many people's favorite pastime is spending time outdoors with friends. Be sure to take a grill with you, fry meat and enjoy communicating with each other. But sometimes it happens that the weather lets you down. Suddenly it starts to rain, and then problems arise with lighting a fire in the grill. There are several ways to solve the problem.
Finished coal
Manufacturers pre-treat coals with a ignition compound. All you have to do is bring a lighter or a match and the fire will flare up. But this method is suitable if there is little rain. Coal for sale:
- in supermarkets;
- at large gas stations;
- in tourist shops.
Dry alcohol
If the air is humid, then this option is used for ignition. The product is sold in tourist departments. To light a fire in the grill, follow the instructions:
- Dry alcohol briquettes are placed at the bottom of the device.
- Coals are poured on top.
- First, the paper is set on fire.
- Place it on top of the coals so that the alcohol also ignites.
Gas-burner
The method is used by experienced tourists and summer residents. A gas burner is purchased in the form of a cylinder attachment. Ideal device for igniting fuel briquettes:
- Coal is placed in a heap in the grill.
- Light the burner and direct the flame to the base of the pyramid.
- Heat the bottom layer from different sides.
- When the flame flares up, the can is removed.
Just buy a burner with a wide jet. This will heat up a large area.
Tubes or homemade paraffin tablets
Wax is also great. Paraffin is most often used. The tubes are made from corrugated cardboard:
- Cut into rectangles 5x8 cm, roll into a roll and tie with thread. There remains a cavity inside.
- Make a water bath and melt the paraffin. The blanks are soaked in a hot solution for 2–3 minutes.
- The tubes dry in the open air.
Homemade tablets are made from toilet paper and a household candle:
- They make preparations. Cut the paper into squares.
- Heat the paraffin in a metal ladle.
- Hot liquid paraffin is poured onto the leaf, a new one is placed on top and watered again. Make 10–15 layers.
Pour coals or wood chips into the grill. Place tablets or tubes between the fuel and light them with a match.
If you want to barbecue outdoors, even a little rain won’t stop you. They choose a way to light a fire in the grill and enjoy delicious meat and good company. If it rains heavily, then a canopy is made from scrap materials so that it is possible to finish grilling the kebab.
