What charcoal starter doodad do I want for a PBC?

I would use the Weber chimney starter too.  I also agree with using the Weber lighter cubes instead of newspaper.

I'll bet there are homemade versions of those starter cubes.

I personally think a weed burner is the way to go.

There are! Take a cotton ball and soak in wax,burns 15 minutes just like the cubes but a little bit of a lighting problem,slow for a couple minutes.

Take it and put in petroleum jelly,can light with a spark but burns only 4 minutes.

Im thinking an edge with PJ,then rest in wax get a fast lighter and long burner,going to be fun making these,I will do a pictorial eventually when I do this if it works.

Another fun project,coming up!

Thats major cool too,I do have several burners...

I have that one at it works well. Capt. Jack warned me to not leave the coals in too long sitting on the burner or the igniter would fail. It did, but I still use it.

Only took $8 of propane to get those coals lit

I use one of those large Weber Rapidfire Chimney starters. The only downside of using it with the PBC is that due to its height, the first time I tried to dump the hot coals into the basket inside the PBC, a bunch of the coals missed the basket and ended up on the bottom of the cooker. So what I do now is pour them into the basket *outside* the chimney and then place the basket into the PBC, wearing heavy-duty protective gloves, of course.

Think thats the route I'll take.
