I feel sure someone else has mentioned this previously but the first couple of times I tried the Minion method I felt less than pleased just raking a hollow in the charcoal, and then somewhere I think I saw the following: Start approximately 20 pieces of charcoal is a chimney starter and light, while the chimney is heating, load the charcoal basket of your WSM and then take an old steel coffee can that has had both the top and bottom removed and insert it empty in the center of the charcoal. Once the chimney is fully heated pour the lit coals into the empty coffee can, with heat resistant gloves or a pair of tongs and gently remove the coffee can. Your lit coals will now be truly centered in your charcoal basket.
