I light my charcoal chimney using the side burner on my propane grill or set in on the propane fish cooker. No mess and it's lit in a couple of minutes.

Mapp torch is the way to go, but you really do need to be prepared for the spark shower if you aren't using fresh charcoal.

I use a propane burner and a chimney starter filled with lump coal. No newspaper, no lighter fluid and is burning in 2-3 minutes.


I do the same, my burner sits next to my primo and it doesn't get any easier.

Be careful lighting your charcoal in a chimney on top of a propane burner. I have a jet burner and did this and the bottom fell out of the chimney because of how powerful and hot my burner flame was.

I use the Weber chimney. Stick a finishing nail through the loop where it sticks outside the chimney. Keeps it from pulling out when exposed to the high heat of the propane burner.
