Anyone use FATWOOD to start a Weber Chimney?

from all I've ever heard or read, you don't use pine to cook. with that in mind, I wouldn't use them for cooking in any way(to include starting the coals). if you just want an easy way to get a non-cooking fire going, they should do the trick.

Why not just use the Weber starters or a chimney?
Fatwood is great for the chimney, but I agree, not the grill..

I use them for my fireplace but I would never use them for starting charcoal. Use a paper towel with a little cooking oil on it.
