How to Fire Up for a Great Barbecue Pitmaster charcoal is formulated to start fast and produce long-lasting, even heat. Here's how to start a charcoal fire like a barbecue expert: 1. Arrange charcoal in a pile. 2. Apply starter fluid over the charcoal, use 1.6 fluid ounces (47 milliliters) per round of charcoal. Light the charcoal immediately. The starter fluid will burn off cleanly in a few minutes leaving the charcoal fully ignited. 3. In approximately 10-15 minutes, or when the charcoal is predominately ashed over, spread the charcoal evenly. Wait 5 minutes and begin cooking.
