I suppose I'd try using a propane torch. My Weber charcoal grill is nice as it has a small gas burner right under the charcoal grid to start the charcoal. Only has to run for 3-4 minutes to get the bottom coals burning so the small propane tank lasts a couple years before needing refilled. No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride. | |||

Placing a chimney full of lump on this single burner stove would work. A little pricey @ $58 but would certainly get the job done. __________________ Member NRA Member NYSRPA | |||

Propane torch with the small wide green coleman propane tanks. I rest it on the adjustment knob, I shaved the adjustment knob down on on side flat, right where the flame is at it's best. Turn it over and rest it on the edge of ceramic insert with the flame pointed into the coals. A minute on one side, then the other, shut the lid and bob's your uncle  Link | |||

I use a Kick Ash Basket and put some newspaper or paper towels with cooking oil underneath. https://kickashbasket.com/coll...geGNJzhhrwfjohzAyJQo | |||

These are da bomb Went out and took a picture of how this works on my Big Red Egg - Louisiana Costco Egg, sits perfect on the edge and you can let it light the charcoal, then move around to the other side if you want to crank it up even quicker.

I have one. They don't work well upside down, which is necessary to get to the bottom of a BGE style cooker. ETA, looking at the post just above mine, maybe I just need a new torch. I mean, mine is probably over 50 years old. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

This one will work upside down, it was originally a gift with a sear cap on top for searing steaks, and I put it to use as you see, probably 10 years or so. | |||

| come and take it |
I've used every method, but now use a small blue propane bottle attached to a 3 foot weed burner. Gets it going in a hurry. I have a few SIGs. | |||

I use a chimney and wad up several pieces of newspaper and stuff them in the bottom. Works like a charm. Ready to cook on in 20 minutes. Been doing it for years. Some folks might object to the ink on the newspaper. You can also just pull a couple of blank pieces of paper off the printer if you want. | |||

I just want to make sure you saw my reply on pg. 2. My second one has lasted 15 yrs. I set a timer and take it out. No, you can't leave it in to burn w/ the coals. I guess I don't understand why yours is only lasting a few months. I'm just making sure you saw my post and I'm not comprehending why your electric element is dying so fast. | |||

The answer may be cheap Walmart version. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

Royal Oak Tumbleweeds fire starters work great for me. | |||

This is what I use: Lighter cubes I fill my chimney with lump charcoal, light 2 cubes on the lower rack, then set the chimney over the cubes. Lights perfectly with no odor, doesn't impact taste, etc. Super easy and very effective. Just light and forget. No holding a torch, etc trying to get the charcoal to light. Try it.

If I were to buy a propane version, I would be tempted to buy this one. He said his design was ripped off by Chinese copies, but he worked to help with the Smarter Every Day American made grill scrubber. Grill Starter | |||

Probably been said already but I use a MAPP torch. Easiest way I’ve found. | |||

One tumbleweed starter. Easy. BGE does or did make an electric starter that’s bent for the correct angle if you prefer. Or they make a looft lighter with a built in blower. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||
