and a cheap blowtorch is all you need. they light immediately and hold a good flame, just put them slightly tucked into the top layer of charcoal
light 2 in the middle for a slow cook, 3-4 spread around for higher heat

Fire question - what are people's methods for lighting charcoal?
I have a chimney, which works fine if I want to get a whole bunch of coals hot for searing.
When (in the past) I have done a long slow cook, I only want to have a few coals to start off - I made a smaller chimney from tins & bits, but that was a huge faff and I lost it in any case.
Do smaller chimneys exist?
Or should I just blowtorch a few bits of fuel.
