Stop cooking with sawdust nuggets and get some real word, or at worst some lump.

Just swallow your pride and switch to gas. I did about 10 years ago and I learned that I much rather convenience than charcoal flavor.
If I really want smoke flavor, I have a Traeger pellet smoker, which is also convenient cause all you do is plug it in and leave it alone.

bought some no name charcoal like I usually do from the closest store. I last used Royal Oak and it started like a champ. This no name stuff takes forever to light! Who knew it made a difference, it looks the same?
I bought some of that Walmart charcoal and I could barely get it lit using a bunch of lighter fluid and a weed blower. Then when I would check later after it all should burned out there would be unburned briquettes in the ashes. I will stick to the brand names too

A friend's mom told us when we were teenagers that you never want to skimp on the fire when you spend a lot on good meat to cook. That stuck with me. Buy good meat and quality coal, and use plenty. If you're going to do it, do it right.

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

I have been using the torch below to light charcoal. Add charcoal to pit in a pile and light with torch. It takes about 15-20 seconds.
I also use it to light my wood burning fireplace and camp ring fire.

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.

Make sure to use plenty of lighter fluid
Just toss the whole container in the grill and run like hell...
Or, get a chimney and never choose lighter fluid again.

Nope, MAPP (AKA UN 1060 which is stabilized methylacetylene-propadiene) has been out of production for over 15 years. If you look closely what is being sold today will have a name like MAP-Pro or something like it, it is a MAPP substitute but doesn't burn as hot with or without bottled oxygen. What you see today is propylene with some added propane.
