JIFFY CHARCOAL STARTER

- JOHN DEITHLOFF

Run out of lighter fluid for your charcoal grill again? If you have a 2-lb. coffee can, you can make a reusable coal starter and skip the fluid altogether. Cut the bottom out first, and then pierce the sides with a can opener to make air vents. Place the can in the barbecue and loosely crumple newspaper in the bottom one-third of the can. Fill the rest of the can with charcoal and light the newspaper through one of the vents. After the coals start to gray, lift the hot can off with tongs, leaving glowing coals behind.
