Hey, I said I was lazy ;-) Of course, I suppose I didn't mention that
I got a fistful of cans of lighter fluid from FreeCycle a while back.
I only light w/newspaper if I'm intending on cooking over the forge
within the next couple hours- otherwise, by the time I put the food
on, the nasty fluid taste is gone.

So, what a surprise- I'm a serious cook ;-)
