Mini Minion Method supplement

Lighting up a pile of briquettes using just a couple lit ones atop a pile of unlit fuel is a great trick for a long slow burn.  The snag?  Lighting 2-3 briquettes can be pretty maddening!  This is my trick for that.  Puddle some lighter fluid** with a couple briquettes in a cup of foil, light and let burn off.  About 5 minutes to two perfectly lit briquettes.  You are welcome!



** If you don't want to use lighter fluid, 70% isopropanol works well too (or cask strength whisky).
