I like those little weber cubes Witt lent me some last year. They work great and are so easy.
Honestly the hose torch is not scary at all, pretty much a big lighter. Nothing whatsoever to be skeered of!
I used a hose torch for some time, but my friends at some of the competitions showed me
this.
It is a weed burner available at
Harbor Freight
ITEM 91037-8VGA
It makes a lot of noise if you run it wide open, but it has a pilot valve to adjust the flame so I rarely hit the trigger to get a full blast. It also has a pizo igniter so there is no holding a match near the business end with your hand. I like the way the fire is far away from my hand when I am lighting the charcoal. There is also a simular model at Brookstone that uses a small bottle of propane. It can get my BGE with a full load of lump fully lit in about three minutes.
WOOSH!!!![/quote:3u5fxt1t]This is the one I use also. I like the way the igniter works also.Make sure the fitting that connects to the torch is tight because this is the one that caught on fire with me two weeks ago tonight. Still have stubles on my arm from where the hair was singed off. It cleans the grates super fast too.
