After watching all the videos and reading all the books, we started with building a smoker fire the old fashioned Boy Scout way. It always took about a half hour and the smoker went out 75% of the time. We quickly learned to grab some dead, dry pine branches, some pine needles and pine cones and put the MAPP gas torch to the smoker. It fired up and stayed lit 90% of the time and only took 5 minutes to get it going. You don't need to be a Boy Scout to get a smoker fire going and you don't need more aggravations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-26870472830199812642009-03-05T02:34:00.000-05:002009-03-05T02:34:00.000-05:00By far the easiest AND fastest way to light a smok...By far the easiest AND fastest way to light a smoker is to use a propane or MAPP gas torch. Throw your kindling in the smoker, torch it and then put on your smoking material when the kindling is red hot coals.<BR/><BR/>Works like a charm EVERY time!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13744350758014649197noreply@blogger.com
