RE: Tools of the Trade: Ignition

Thank you for the guide! It is so simple and makes my grill accessible now.

Your description reminds me of my mother. Years ago, when I was very young (before the age of 11) I lived in a house with a wood/coal burning stove. Actually, we rarely used coal because wood was in the backyard and it was cheap. We only had coal if someone gave it to us. Anyway, every winter morning my mother would start the fire. She used paper and kindling to get it started. Then, of course, there was a chimney. I never thought about it, but it makes perfect sense. She was expert at starting that fire and the stove was always warm when we got out of bed. She didn't want us getting up to a cold house.

You see, memories :) All about coal and your grilling community. I certainly hope it takes off. You have a fan here.
