I've used alcohol to light my egg every time without fail. I have noticed at colder tempuratures it is a lot more difficult. That being said, I live in Florida so it isn't much of an issue for me.

Same here.....

My procedure...

   1) open all vents

   2) squirt about a thumbs width of alcohol on the lump

   3) light the fluid and leave the lid open until the flames die out (about 2-3 min)

   4) after lid is closed start monitoring for my target temp and adjust vents accordingly
