    I buy whatever charcoal is on sale... but without the starter fluid soaked in because you can never completely burn that away. This time it was Kingsford in a double-package special at Walmart.

    I use starter fluid but I don't let it sit and soak in for very long. I buy whatever is the cheapest starting fluid (per ounce) I can find. The last three bottles I bought were also a Walmart special.


    I use a charcoal starter. 91% rubbing alcohol is $1.50. No gas smell or taste to the meat. One bottle will last me a month or more.

    White gas cost too much.

    There's a 6 pack of Revolver Blood and Honey and a couple Ziggen's in there.
    There is also remnants of a long lost 6 pack of prickly pear cactus mead a bud and I brewed 10 years ago.

    I'm too lazy to hold a blow torch or fill and empty a chimney. I'd rather sit on my fat ass and drink cold beer.
    I hear ya. One time when it was raining and all my wood was wet and taking too long to light I propped the torch up on a stump with the tip in the vent holes of the fire box so I didn't have to stand there and hold it. Work smarter, not harder ;)

    I got you all beat. I have a wife that starts the fires for grilling. Now granted they are pricey and sometimes temperamental to work with, but when they work it's great.

    Shiner, Alamo, and a new one for me called Legion. It was given to me last week at my reunion.

    Southern Star Bombshell Blonde and Real Ale Fireman's #4 for daily drinking, a couple varieties of St. Arnold's Divine Reserves, some Karbach Sympathy and some Lone Star Light.

    Harder stuff is Rebecca Creek, Tito's and somehow 4 bottles of Balvenie Portwood 21yo from back when it was cheap(er).

    Like Mexican Hippie said, the Royal Oak Lump works as good as anything else in the Egg, and the price is right. I'm planning on doing a brisket and a butt with it this weekend.

    Shiner Bock, and Fat Tire.

    When I cook outside I like doing it over an open fire on the ground. I use any wood around, Hackberry included. I have the most of it. :p
