It's really cheaper than any kind of fluid. I've been doing it for
years. Fill a chimney half way with lump and top it with wood chunks.
60 seconds with a torch under it and it's all set. 5 minutes later
it's ready to dump over. A propane bottle is about 3 bucks. It would
easily start 100+ fires. If I'm starting all wood chunks I've set the
chimney on the turkey fryer base (set on a law flame) for a few
minutes. Works like a charm. Cheating? maybe <g> More expensive?
nope.
