I don't use oil, just crumple a few pieces of newspaper.
Lights up quick, usually just takes one match and boom, it goes. Very little smoke. In less than 10 minutes I have a whole chimney of coals.
Gas Grills?

Not sure, anybody use one of these?
The amount of smoke (and chance that it lights the first time) depends on the newspaper. Real newspaper seems to light better than the thicker, free ones that I usually end up trying to use. The thicker ones also leave quite a bit more ash behind... Maybe I should just give up and start buying a newspaper for those times when I need to light the grill.
I just use this...
With the lump charcoal it only takes about a 10 second blast in about 3 spots to get it to take off. A bottle cost about 8 bucks and if I just use it to light the grill it lasts about 2 years and we grill all year around. Sounds cool too.

I use one of those, or something similar. Works great. A little slower than fuel, or a torch, but never needs fuel.Not sure, anybody use one of these?
By the way, as long as we've sidetracked this onto Charcoal grilling, I have these and they are AWESOME. Keeps the coals contained and directs more of the heat directly up towards your food.
If you don't have them, I'd HIGHLY suggest trying them out.

If you're buying a new grill, the Weber 22" charcoal kettle with propane assist start kicks ass. Same idea as bushwacker but self-contained and you can get the coals glowing fast. Can't solder pipes with it though, so go bushwackers route if you need a dual purpose option.
tonight vittles
my girlfriend and i just have a fire pit, wanna grill? then we go out chop wood drink around the fire and when coals are ready the cookings ready, if im really worried about time then im not going to grill. wood tastes the best to cook off of!!! just a little slow
If you have extra dough my peers in TX say these things are the best and won't buy anything else......http://www.biggreenegg.com/eggs_XL.html

So you use propane to light a charcoal grill? Seems a bit oxymoronic doesn't it?
Why not just a good old match and some newspaper and one of them there charcoal chimney thingamajigs?
