I lite almost all my fires, including my amazin tube, with a paper towel or 2 individually balled up tight and coated with oil. I've used veggie, canola, grapeseed, they all tend to work about the same. Light the paper towel after stuffing it in the tube and let it go. The oil slows the burn long enough to get the pellets going. I light my oak BBQ this way, my wood burning stove, campefires, you get the idea. Easy simple and works pretty much every time. Torch works great too though.
