BBQ question

Charcoal BBQ-ers - lighter fluid or no lighter fluid?

[auroraloo]

If you use lighter fluid, just let your charcoal burn until the fluid has burned off.

I don't think I'd be able to get it started without lighter fluid.

I use a chimney starter...no lighter fluid needed.

Is that that tubey looking thing? I think that might be what my dad uses...

This.

We use it sometimes but I think officially you're not supposed to. I can't remember why. That's very helpful, I know.

H uses a chimney starter as well.  Yes, it's the tube thing...

That's pretty much exactly what I said to DH when he used the lighter fluid tonight. So, maybe not helpful but echoing my sentiments. :-)

Awesome. We'll give that a try.

I'll tritto the chimney starter thing. We do that and no lighter fluid. Works really well.
