I cannot vote. Only the 'Result' button is shown. Tried Google Chrome, Firefox, and IE8.

its a hard poll to answer anyways. i light whats most convenient at the time and that includes things like weedburner, oil/napkin/ burning wood from the fireplace, hot glowing red anthrasite from the coal stove etc. different seasons, different places, different options, whatever is easiest at the time

I can't light lump.  I have no hands.

I throw some cooking oil on a phallic shaped vegetable and toss it in.

Paper towel and gasoline.  I don't cook until the volitals burn off.

Edit. Full disclosure. In 2010 I was using a Weber and lighter fluid.

Carey is science slow so I'll try to crystallize your answer.  Arrange your lump with smoke wood scattered throughout.  Make sure your egg is atop a hill with a low coefficient of friction.  One veg oil towel in the center of your lump, lit with a torch.  Then push toward the bottom of hill.  Dome open.  Then your egg will be started.

I try to find a hill with high CoF and slide the paper towel down into the egg as it ignites. I'm working on my accuracy. 

Edit: I've only burned down one utility building and my neighbors moonshine still.

Green ignition tube (to match the egg) and a fuel sack with dual reservoirs.

One thing I will never do again, is light my grill with a solution of commonly found hydrocarbon based chemicals, from our lab.
