A kit is disclosed which provides a novel way of extinguishing charcoal fires. The kit includes a flexible metal net, the net being of sufficient thickness and mesh size to hold burning charcoal briquets. The net has at least two handles along its periphery. The kit also includes a water resistant bag, and may also include a rigid container for supporting the bag in an upright position. When a charcoal fire is to be extinguished, the net is laid on the ground, and the charcoal briquets are dumped onto the net. The net is then raised, by its handles, so as to lift the pile of briquets from the ground. The net is immersed in the bag, the bag having been filled with water. After the briquets are extinguished, all but one of the handles of the net are released, and the charcoal briquets are allowed to fall into the bag. The open end of the bag may then be tied, and the bag can be easily discarded. The method described is neat and economical, and the kit can be used more than once.
