I used the chimney starter saturday with the newspaper drizzled with

Just curious, why the corn oil? Couple of sheets waded up
(not to tightly) and my lump starts fine with no additional
fuel other than a match.

I've never had luck with the unfortified newspaper thing. Maybe
it's the humidity in Texas, even though I keep my B&B lump inside.

hm, that's bizarre 'cause we get some brutal humidity here
in the summer. I keep my RO lump in the garage which
certainly isn't air conditioned and I've not had any
problem. I usually use two full sheets of the paper. You
know, the sheets that are the entire paper width wide.

Sometimes it doesn't look like it "took" but I go back in 10
minutes or so and that puppies crankin'. shrug
