And. you should never reapply charcoal lighter fluid after the fire has started; the flames can ignite the vapors, and travel up to the can causing an explosion. When the barbeque is over, dispose of ashes only when they are completely cooled. Place them in heavy duty foil and soak with water completely before disposing in a non-combustible container. Please do not add spent coals to normal trash! Info provided by: FM Wayne Clark, ADSFM wclark@cityofnewport or 401-845-5913
