Before you start lighting up a grill, take a few safety precautions. Always ensure that the grill is kept on a solid, even surface so that it is well balanced. There should not be any long grass, shrubbery or overhangings close to the grill. Also, check to make sure that the vents in the grill are not clogged with ashes and are open so that air can circulate freely.
Now follow the steps as outlined below to start a fire in a charcoal grill.
Grilling, in the traditional way, over wood and fire has a long history, dating back almost 5 million years ago. Cooking was done outdoors from almost the time that man tamed fire, and continued to be the only way of cooking for many years.
Gradually various means of cooking indoors were invented and cooking outdoors was more of an occasion than a necessity. Grilling was almost always associated with picnics and campsites and even then, not everyone managed the whole process without any problems. Around the 1950s, more and more families started moving to the suburbs where a house had a backyard and a nice open space to carry out some decent grilling. Soon, outdoor grilling became the rage.
