Son of Hibachi = Son of *******, more like

So, my second attempt with this expensive door stop has fizzled out like my first.

The much vaunted 'chimney effect' ain't happening, and the Son of bks refuses to light. I've used 2 briquettes in the lighter tray, soaked in lighter fluid, and a layer of coals each side, following the instructions exactly.

Where am I going wrong? How do you light yours?

This gets one more chance before the piece of st ends up on Ebay...

I turn a knob and push a button.

It's a shame Emsman is out of the country, he could help.

Uh, I use rolled up newspapers and put firelighters inside them. Then put the charcoal over the paper.

Try firelighters rather than that gel/fluid crap.

[ChunkyloverSV]

use my cigar lighter, lights that gel crap right away and firelighters.

Try soaking it with liquid oxygen and then light it, you save money that way too because you can light it with a spark then, from a fire steel.

This. 3 fire lighters in the tray gets mine going fine.
