The journey of a good smoker often begins with the enjoyment of the ritual itself. For some, smoking is not just about nicotine; it’s about the atmosphere, the deep sense of relaxation, and the social connections forged through shared experiences. Whether it’s indulging in a fine cigar during a celebratory moment or enjoying a pipe while reading a book, these moments are often about quality over quantity. This mindful approach turns smoking into an art form, focusing on savoring each puff rather than mindlessly consuming cigarettes.

Thus, the charcoal basket transcends its practical use, becoming a canvas for cultural expression.

Most grill grates are made of either cast metal, powder coated wire, or chrome plated wire. If you aim the GrillGun at any small diameter wire (coated or uncoated) you will turn the wire grill orange and burn off any finish. For grills with light gauge wire grill tops, you will want to remove the grill grate and light the charcoal directly rather than starting the grill by blowing through the grill wires and damaging them. If the wire coating is already bad or non-existent, however, you may be more willing to trying lighting and sanitizing the grill at once.
