been busy with life, finally had a chance to put this together. there is about twice as many coals than i usually have. it had been low on the amount of coals left after a burn this week since i cleaned it last so yesterday I turned the fan shutoff temp a little higher, too high. excuse the chitty camera skills. this did take a little longer than normal due to not only juggling the camera, but my son as well. he just wants to get right in and do everything dad does.

Try a chunk of Super Cedar and you will never go back.
 
We have a Pallet company around the corner, they discard hardwood blocks mostly, one milk crate of blocks on bottom, one dura flame starter, 6-7 blocks on top, followed by splits, then rounds, light, walk away......
 
I use those fire starter sticks available at any store. Take one break it in half light it put one in front and one in rear of firebox. From there I stack small dry splits cross ways to allow for air flow. Then usually by the time I go upstairs for another beer she's flaming up pretty good.
