A lil veggie oil makes a great enhancer for a chimney starter.

I keep a container of cotton balls soaked in 90% alcohol. Great fire starters in my kamado for lump charcoal. Use one to start a controlled low and slow fire use multiple cotton balls in multiple locations for a high temp fire.

Don't get cheap on the charcoal. You may save a buck or two going with cheaper brands but IMO Kingsford burns the longest and is more consistent

My method is lump+two natural charcoal starters+two IPAs

I don't want my wife and kids to ever learn it doesn't take a full 40 minutes to get up and running

I use a weed burner when I really want to get the coals going quickly.

Royal Oak manufactures ~85% of the private label (store brand) charcoal in the USA. Both briquettes and lump.

If the briquettes have a “ridge” design, they are made by Royal Oak.
