The Chametz found during Bedikas Chametz must be burned.

  • On Friday morning as on a regular Erev Pesach, some Chometz should be burnt before the end of the 5th hour – 11:33 a.m. (in Montreal, see here for other cities) Kol Chamira is not said afterwards.

The burning of the Chametz should be done without adding or pouring any lighting fluid over the Chametz, which would then make it inedible, and thus nullify the mitzvah of destroying the Chametz.
