Sounds like a plan!

Another question - the weber chimney has space under the grate to put
crumpled newspaper. Well, after you like the newspaper and start the
chimney, when you go to dump the lump into the grill, won't all that
paper fly around and what-not? Is there something better to use than
newspaper?

Also if I were to buy hickory chunks, do you put them right on the lit
lump in the grill or do people soak them sometimes, or both? lol

thanks again
