A buddy had told me about a video that he had seen about this …. I was curious, so I googled it.
Found this:

I am a charcoal miser, so I try to save as much from each cook-up by sifting it in a homemade sifter.
I have found in the past that re-used lump takes a bit longer to light, but not too much.
After hitting it with the weed-burner for about 25 seconds (much shorter than normal), I let 'er go ….
Getting ready to light.
After 2 minutes there was still some of the Doritos burning.
Ready to dump after no more than 10 minutes.
