[Blindtlk] Fired up and cooking now

Mon Jun 27 12:59:31 UTC 2011

I've had the best success using a chimney, and no fluid at all. You put the charcoal and newspaper in the chimney, light it, and, after it's going, pour the now burning briquettes on to the grill. All you really need to do, is turn the chimney over. It eliminates that starter fluid taste.

I want to thank you guys because after reading all of this stuff, I realize I was wrong to give up.
I will try getting some of this stuff and doing it again.
