Charcoal chimney safety requires welders type gloves that completely cover your forearm.
Highly recommended that you wear two gloves.
Now, how do you empty your charcoal chimney?
Do you pournate?
Yeah, I just made that up.
Or do you pronate?
Only one of these is the safest method.
If you answered pournate, here’s the problem.
Out of the back of the charcoal chimney, you will get flames as you’re pouring and this is very dangerous.
And here’s why?
This charcoal chimney has fired up full of charcoal and you can see just a little bit of flame coming out the top.
Now here is what it looks like with the lights out and you can see that the flames are very aggressive coming out of the top.
Now here we are pournating…I love that word…look at those flames.
You can’t really see what’s coming out of the back.
And now with the lights out look at the flame dejecting out of the back of that charcoal chimney.
That could catch you on fire.
Always pronate.
It’s the safest method to using a charcoal chimney.
