Step 1
Place the amount of charcoal you wish to use between pieces of newspaper. Hit the charcoal with a hammer until you have ground it into pea-size pieces.
Step 2
Use the bottom piece of newspaper to dump the charcoal into a large bowl. Pour kerosene into the bowl until you saturate all pieces. Leave the kerosene on the pieces for a couple of minutes to ensure complete saturation.
Step 3
Place a sieve over the bowl to drain the kerosene into a trash container. Use the kerosene-soaked charcoal as desired, such as in your grill or in a campfire.
