        My local ACE Hardware has continually let me down this year. The store does not store it’s lump or charcoal inside. Skids of product outside on a “patio” that has been exposed to the rain we’ve gotten here in abundance in SE Michigan. So waterlogged, it won’t light. Don’t buy charcoal, or briquetes there anymore.

        Sorry for you, and that is inappropriate for them. Charcoal is packed at a specific moisture content that they are ruining. Can you be so bold as to tell them?

          I should have said something after encountering the problem. But didn’t.

            Okay guys, yesterday I cooked bacon in a microwave. When I do, I place a paper towel on top. I used that paper towel to start my lump charcoal in my Primo. It started very fast, much more than with other methods. Has anyone done this, am I overlooking anything that could be harmful to the grill?

            I’ve never done that, but . . .

            I’ve also heard of people putting vegetable oil on paper towels and using them to start charcoal.

            I do that every single time I’ve lit a fire in my (Weber) chimney for years and years without any trouble at all. Well, actually, I use newspaper, but I don’t know why a paper towel or bacon grease would cause any trouble.

              I have been using newspaper for years, but I would just about bet dollars to doughnuts, Double to nothing, that I have snuck some oil (not auto) or bacon grease in there a time or two maybe thinking I could ramp up everyone’s appetite or something. No Problems.
