1/2 Lighting up your Alfresco 140 (Part 1 of 2)
Channel: Trailblazer BBQ
Date: 2021-10-07

Trailblazer founder and Managing Director, Lester Manley talk us through his routine when lighting the Alfresco 140 luxury charcoal BBQ. Part 1 of this two-part series focuses on loading, lighting, and stacking the charcoal correctly to encourage rapid ignition. 

Using this technique, we generally have the Alfresco 140 stainless steel charcoal BBQ lit and ready to cook in approx 10-12 minutes. Beating the myth that charcoal grilling is less convenient than gas alternatives.
