Again, I'm still somewhat new to the charcoal game....if i have a half chimney full of coals and am using my Genesis sideburns to light them, how long do i run the sideburns? Do I run it on high, low?
Thanks,
I use the Weber lighter cubes and they normally burn 5 minutes or so. 5 minutes on medium would be plenty to light the coals in the bottom of chimney.

I usually just do a few minutes if using gas assist. If you're in a hurry, leave it on longer... otherwise, after the bottom coals get going (smoke & ember), the rest will get there, eventually.

I have used my side burner on my Genny to light he chimney as well. I leave mine on about 5 minutes. Once the bottom coals are lit I turn off the burner.

I used to do this also. I have an older summit C I believe it is. The circular diverter, which is made of aluminium, melted. It now doesn't sit flat and needs to be replaced. I wouldn't leave it on there too long. Get the coals lit then remove off the burner
Thanks...5 minutes will be my target for here on out.

You can flip the little bottom grate on a Weber chimney and move coals closer to the burner. It helps on a performer and I would imagine in this situation.
