Sure grilling with gas is easier, but it can never fully replace the purity, manliness, and sheer awesomeness of grilling over charcoal. But we all know how frustrating it is when you're trying to get your charcoal ready to grill over and it simply won't light. You could buy Matchlight, but give me a break, that's like driving a sports car with an automatic transmission.

I for one like to grill all year long, and natural charcoal briquettes give the best flavor and are the most fun to use. And so using an inexpensive chimney starter like this one Weber makes is the best way to get the charcoal ready with the least amount of headache and hassle.
