How to order charcoal on kebabs? The charcoal I bought is round, as thick as a small arm, and quite long.

You can use a thinner stick+a slightly thicker stick+charcoal to set the charcoal on fire. Pyramid-shaped, put the thin stick first, then put the thick stick when it is burned, and put the charcoal after the thick stick is burned a little harder. Better not break it. This kind of charcoal burns very brightly and doesn't break. It's a little wasteful if it's broken. You can break one first, which makes it easier to catch fire.

Note that when I was a child, my mother always said: fire should be hollow and people should be solid. Hehe, no matter what you use as a stove, you must keep the air below so that it can be lit.
