I've heard of chimney starters, but wasn't sure about them - I'll give it a looksey. I'll also give that Cowboy stuff a try, as I just bought the Kingsland stuff (or whatever) that's always available in stores. I'm also glad the humor of the situation came through. I was afraid I couldn't convey it properly because, damn, we were laughing all night long. Thanks a lot for the info.

Ow. This was very funny! We just recently got a charcoal grill, because all the good chefs recommend them over gas. We don't have an auto starter, though. Let me go and look at the model you bought online and see if what I am thinking will working... Yes, it will. What you need is one of these: http://www.epinions.com/Appliance_Accessories-Weber_Charcoal_Chimney_Starter_87886 Or anything that does the same thing. They've been on clearance at Lowes lately, so take a look there. We love ours. It gets the coals going right away, and they are ready faster. You can add more once you get some started with this, as well, and they'll heat from what you've blasted in the chimney, or you can do another batch. Also, I highly recommend that you use Cowboy Charcoal for anything that needs to roast for a long time (http://www.cowboycharcoal.com/), like chicken, and a blend of it and regular briquettes for anything that you need searing for, but don't want to spend hours cooking, like hamburgers and steak.
