Starter fluid can be used to light the charcoal, but it is not the preferred method. It can be messy and may
leave a chemical taste on the food if not completely burned off prior to cooking. Once lit, never add additional
starter fluid to the grill. Store the bottle at least, 25 ft (7.6m) away from the grill when operating.
