I've read that some folks use a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil as a fire starter.
How does that work? Do you light the towel on fire and put it on top of your coals like a Minion burn? Do you place some coals over the towel and let it burn up into the charcoal? Or do you put it in a chimney with coals?...
Sorry to be dense, but I've never seen this done nor ever heard a full description.
Also, does this method have any advantages over a couple of sheets of newspaper in a chimney?
