The sequence of steps for using a chimney starter is indeed not presented in the correct order. A chimney starter is designed to make lighting charcoal more efficient and safe. The proper method typically starts with adding newspaper to the bottom of the chimney to serve as kindling. Following that, charcoal is added on top of the newspaper. After filling the chimney with charcoal, the next step is to light the newspaper. Once the newspaper is burning and the coals are lit, the charcoal will eventually produce smoke as it heats up, which indicates that it is well on its way to being ready, typically around 10 to 15 minutes into the process.
Only after the coals are adequately lit and covered with a layer of ash should you carefully pour the hot coals onto the grill grate. Each of these steps is essential for ensuring that the charcoal lights thoroughly and provides consistent heat for cooking.
The other options do provide some reasoning but do not apply in this context. The method is not outdated, nor does it specifically rely solely on lighter cubes, which could fundamentally change the way coals ignite. Thus, the assertion that the original order of steps is incorrect is validated, making the correct response to the question "False".
