    At home, since my turkey burner died, I now use my weed burner... lit coals in under a minute! When I'm traveling, I place a lit Sterno can under a chimney of coals and let it sit for a bit until I see a glow, set the chimney aside and remove the Sterno.

          I use the cubes and have had great success with them right on the grate BUT I like to put the cubes on a half of a brick (2 cubes) and light them, then place a chimney full of lump over the the brick/cubes and in 5-10 minutes they're ready.

                Split a cube in half last night, lit the 2 pieces with briquettes inside the Vortex, then hit the pile with a torch on the outside areas. Seemed quicker 👍

                  I used to go the chimney route but with kids and dogs running around, etc. I switched to a looft lighter. I works very well, quickly and you can feed as much air oxygen into the coals as you want. It just saves me a headache and a step or two as well.

                  Been using it now for 2 years and worth every penny to me.

                    Love the idea of the Looftlighter thing but the cost and the fact that I gotta string an extension cord to the grill keep me using other means...

                                Eh..they burn clean and will get a chimney going. Hexamine’s pretty inert both during and after combution.

                                Last cook on the Lang I just broucht along a Sterno can and slipped it inder the fire grate.
