step 1

Simply fill the space below the charcoal grate and between the feet with clean dry crumpled paper such as paper from the charcoal bag itself, newspaper, or brown paper from a grocery bag.

step 2

Fill the HoBo using dry charcoal or dry lump charcoal to your desired amount needed and light the crumpled paper.  The paper will slowly catch and begin to evenly start the charcoal without any accelerant and should be ready to “dump” into your desired charcoal cooking area within 15-25 minutes depending on the amount of charcoal used.
