"Doritos can be placed under your charcoal chimney or directly in the charcoal and lit with a lighter or matches. The chips will burn for a surprisingly long time, each for about 60 seconds or more depending on the size, thanks to the starch and vegetable oil in them."
"The best way to use Doritos to light a fire is to treat it like a tinder bundle. Loosely stack some chips together right atop the charcoal and ignite them. Vegetable oils have a low flash point, between 600 and 700 degrees Fahrenheit."
Doritos serve as an effective fire starter for charcoal barbecues. They can be placed under a charcoal chimney or directly in the charcoal. Each chip burns for about 60 seconds, providing enough heat to ignite surrounding charcoal. Other snack foods like Cheetos and potato chips also work due to their carbohydrate and fat content. To use Doritos, stack them loosely on the charcoal and ignite. Their vegetable oils have a low flash point, allowing them to catch fire easily and help light the charcoal quickly.
