At one point I got the "Gear for your Kitchen" book for christmas (had
never seen the show). It turned me onto a chimney, and I picked one up
at Walmart for CAD$10, never looked back. Well, OK, I sometimes use his
trick of veggie oil soaked newspapers under the grate, which also works
startling well...

I only discovered lump about a month ago, about 5 months after my return
to charcoal...wish I had sooner.

Thanks for the reply!
