I saved a fellow barbecuer
I saw a friend of mine purchasing a bag of royal oak natural lump,
with a bottle of charcoal starting fluid. I told her about using a chimney starter, and she said "I have one". I explained to her how using newspaper (sprayed with PAM, then rolled and twisted and put under her charcoal starter like a donut) will prevent her yummy BBQ food from tasting like Whiting Indiana. She listened to me and said newspaper and pam is a lot cheaper than the starter fluid, and understood also that I was helping her food remain healthy. 1 down, thousands to go, but at least I saved 1 BBQer and her family. |

I've always used lighter fluid and have never had a lighter fluid taste. Of course I always take off the body and lid of the R2D2 before lighting it, and let it burn for 10-15 minutes. -sw |

Never had a problem with regular burning newspaper. I have very infrequently used a bit of vegetable oil on newspaper when they have been affected by humidity from storage outside, though. -- Dave www.davebbq.com What is best in life?

You might give it a whirl. There is a definite taste difference, once I had a hard time believing. I never liked those chimneys until I got the Weber model. They actually hold enough charcoal and/or wood to make them quite useful I found out last summer that they will also light all wood (seasoned) for grilling, no charcoal needed. We started up a chimney of oak/ pecan and grilled chicken and sausage on an all wood fire just tonight. I think the best thing about the chimneys (besides the taste) is when you want a good bed of lit, burning coals. If I use charcoal, I put in charcoal to the top of the chimney and then stack some 1/2 fist sized pieces on top to light along with the chimney of charcoal. It all lights at once and is all ready to go at the same time. No smoke from any partially lit charcoal or scorching flavoring wood. For steaks, the chimney is the best. You can literally light and burn your coals to bright orange/white charcoal ready for the grill, and get plenty of it all at once. And at $14, it paid for itself in lighter fuel in about 2 months. I hated those old POS models they sold everywhere, but the Weber chimney is a no-brainer. Robert |

Good on ya Skeeter, but newspaper without the Pam is even cheaper. And for us dedicated cheapskates a onetime investment in an oil spritzer (I use a 'Misto') loaded with Canola oil obviates the need for any expensive Pam. (Pam 'regular' is Canola oil). I don't have newspaper available anymore, so I use other means. The crap they use for direct mail advertising doesn't burn very well. -- Brick(Youth is wasted on young people) |

I would think that it makes the newspaper burn hotter, as well as longer. I've stopped using newspaper, myself. Wax paper is the way to go! Just make a big wad and put it under your charcoal chimney, light it, and go about your business. In 15 minutes, you've got fire. Easy, cheap, burns clean, and leaves very little ash. Stan Marks |

After the grill heats up, I was spraying canola oil on a cloth, then using it to lube the racks. (As taught by Alton Brown) Now I oil up a wad of paper towels, lube the racks, and then stuff the oily paper into the chimney, to be used next time to light the charcoal. |

There is a definite taste difference, No, there isn't. I used to use a chimney, and often use it at work and school (where we have bigger smokers for groups), and there is NO taste of lighter fluid. People who use a lot of lighter fluid, squirt down the sides and bottom of their smoker/firepan, and don't let it burn off completely and vented may have this problem, but I sure don't. -sw |

I just tear off some of the bag the charcoal came out of and shove that under the bottom of my chimney starter and use that to start it all up. Works great.

You can see the bag on the right of this picture and how some of it is mysteriously missing. :-) http://www.employees.org/~travist/smoker.jpg |
