My lighter fluid method was typically this:
1. Place the briquettes in a lazy pile that is supposed to resemble a pyramid.
2. Douse the the briquettes with half a can of fluid.
3. Finish your beer or hand it to someone.
4. Light briquettes having only waited a few minutes with a crappy bic cigarette lighter.
5. Watch the flames roar up as you try to dodge the flame.
6. Watch the flames go out completely because you forgot to wait for the fluid to soak in.
7. Soak the briquettes with the other half of the can of lighter fluid.
8. Talk a younger guy into lighting this time because you learned better this time.
9. Watch younger guy almost die and laugh.
10. Put way too tightly packed burgers on grill and burn outside to a crisp while the inside is raw.
Recommended step. Drink a lot more beer and hope it kills any e-coli.
