Never leave your grill unattended. Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it. If you use starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire. Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.

Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start charcoal using newspaper as a fuel. There are also electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire.
