I found this to be very entertaining. The BBQ'ers here probably will too:

My favorite quote from the article:

"Obviously, the best way to light this fire is with flint and steel, the
Viking way.

But isn't it hard to strike a fire with flint and steel, you ask? Not
at all. Flint is just a quartzitea silicaceous rock. Steel is easy to
find. My preferred method is to chuck a silicon carbide abrasive wheel
in my half horsepower drill and run it against an old file. I get three
feet of hot, red sparks."

We may have to try that. <g>
