How to Light a Charcoal Chimney

[Huskee]

I shred Kingsford bags, they're 3 layers and peeling the layers apart makes for great chimney starter material and excellent use of the spent bags. Also Weber starter cubes (for me) are a huge favorite. They work great, are waterproof, and are dirt cheap. I can light a full chimney with 1/2 of one cube in 15min, and 24 cubes is about $3.50 to $4.

However, if I had a burner like that you'd better believe I'd begin using it!

Yep - some things are so smart, they make you feel dumb... when I saw a guy pull his ball hitch out of his receiver to use it as a wheel chock on his truck I was floored. Here I've been carrying a wheel chock around on the back of my truck my whole life.

My problem is I ran out of matches yesterday. Searched everywhere, finally found a pack. While I was at Lowe’s gettin KBB I broke down & bought a lighter. Yes it’s true, I am now the proud owner of a long necked lighter. MCS has struck again. 😎

You're embracing that new-fangled technology whether you like it or not.
