Cooking oil and a paper towel. Form briquetts in to a volcano. wad up a paper towel and insert into crater. Drizzle a little cooking oil onto the wadded up paper towel. light with a match.
You think I'm joking ? Just try it once.
Build up your briquettes and put 7 or 8
of the big orange cheetos on the bottom
and light'em up. Works every time. Plus
no funny taste from the fluid.
