Tim,

Not to be bossy or disrespectful, but when those things die, try another method. I bet you like others better. I gave those things up back in the webber days.

The grill I had before the Egg was a Weber charcoal that had small propane tank that was used just to get the coals started. Now that I have the Egg, I've taken that tank off the old grill and use it to light a chimney that I fill about 1/3 of the way with some small/medium size pieces of lump. I put the propane flame under the chimney for just a few mintues and it gets that started. Another few minutes and I dump it in the Egg. I've never had a 'bad start' with this method.

I like this because it works every time and I was able to do it without buying anything. Since I'm only running the propane tank for a few minutes, it lasts forever.

Adam, I hear what you are saying and I may do just that. I may go to a torch or something else. I think the electric starters will last about a year. If I go with WG lump I may go to a torch. I have a weed burner but it is a long one and I priced a mapp torch and I keep thinking they are to expensive. I have used the starter cubes and ran out of them so I found the kind that you have to use a hatchet to break up...i guess I will wear out what I have and go from there. Tim

I take no disrespect Adam.

Mike:
WOW!!! That’s sort of like the sacrifice of a virgin to the flames!
Never could and never will be able to wrap my brain around that one! I mean…I like virgins (I know a number of them…Well…I think I do anyway) and it seems like such a waste.
Of course on the other hand, I would expect that all of your cooks are really outstanding! As the Gods must be VERY happy with you. YES?
Just some 2010 silliness :silly: !!!

Here's a shot of a weedburner in action :woohoo: :laugh:

I just got a mapp torch for Christmas,but haven't tried it yet :pinch: It should work well for the mini egg

I really like this method. It works well and is inexpensive and it recycles used frying oil. Remember, you do not need to use much oil on each piece of towel
