Lump for fire

Anyone use lump to get a fire going for a burn pit?

I would use cheap briquettes before I would waste my good lump but it would work.

Thought that was what kerosene was for.

Usually just use cardboard

I do.....and in my wood stove insert.  It really accelerates the fire.  Normally is takes an hour or two for the fan to kick on, but if I start with a few pounds of charcoal, it will kick on in 30 minutes.

At home, I save all the fines and dust from the bottom of the bags in a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket with a lid, then use a couple cups to help get the fire going.  Same goes for all the shreaded paper......good kindling.
