JAKARTA - Having a bonfire with family or friends is the most common activity on New Year's Eve. At the bonfire, usually use charcoal to make the bonfire.

However, there are now more effective and practical methods for burning events without using charcoal. These methods can also prevent the occurrence of odor and thick smoke in the fire.

Some tips for holding a charcoal-free burning event on New Year's Eve that you can try are as follows, quoted from We Love Fire, on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.

1. Use a special roasting tool

One way to burn without charcoal is to use a special roasting tool. You can find this online with the keyword "automatic roasting tool".

Automatic grills are generally designed to produce high heat, so that the food feels like it is being burned, and can even work without causing smoke.

2. Using a teflon grill pan

For a charcoal-free grilling event, you can use a Teflon grill pan. To use this tool, you can start by heating the grill pan on the stove until it is really hot.

Then apply a little oil or butter to the surface of the pan so that the ingredients do not stick. Place food ingredients, such as corn, sausage, fish, or chicken satay on the pan, then cook while turning it several times until it appears "grill marks" or looks evenly cooked.

3. Use the oven

Another tip that can be tried to burn without charcoal is to use an oven. This method is also quite easy and practical to do.

The first step is to turn on the oven until it is hot enough at around 200-250 degrees Celsius. Then put the food on the tray/rack (can be lined with aluminum foil), bake, then turn over and coat the sauce periodically so that it is evenly cooked and not burnt.
