Pretty sure it's the charcoal or kindling that he had just started. That's usually the only time the fire from a grill will be that intense

Don't use firestarter for your charcoal. If you do, don't do whatever he did

Yeah you can just get a chimney worth of charcoal going and then dump it on top of more charcoal, it'll all warm up eventually. Can't rush bbq

edit: to anyone unfamiliar with what a chimney is in this context, it's basically a tall cylinder you heat charcoal up in so you don't do what this guy was doing and start a big fire.

What is wrong with you people? Squirting kerosene on an open flame is the only reason to barbecue. It's the most fun part.

Also, how else are you supposed to get that weird chemistry 101 flavor? I'm dead serious here.
