Updated | By Keri Miller
This simple yet very effective hack will have you holding the title and bragging rights of being the 'Braai Master' and 'Fire Starter' among your friends!
The holidays are around the corner and that means spending time with family and friends, and many meals cooked on coals.
Look, I’m not saying that we can't make amazing braai fires, but some of us are definitely more skilled than others.

Now you can be 'all that and a bag of chips' at your next braai. Here's how:
What you will need:
- Stale chips (or fresh chips)
- Lighter/matches
To do?
- Stack the chips placed in a pile in a fireproof area and light.
- 1 x small bag of Doritos burns for just over 6mins
- Then add your wood or coal.
All kinds of chips work for making fire. In fact, they work as well as birch bark for starting a fire in a hurry.
If you think about it, it’s basically pure hydrocarbons which burn as they're soaked in fat.
Happy braaing!
