My preferred method is a sprinkling of firelighters in the base of the
tray, a covering of lumpwood charcoal, and then charcoal briquettes over
that. Pour half a cup of petrol over it all, leave for 2 mins to soak
in, wash hands (to remove any petrol) and then chuck a match on.

The theory behind it is that the lumpwood is easy to light but doesn't
burn for very long, so the lumpwood effectively "lights" the briquettes,
which burn for about 2 hours.

What does everyone else do?

Turn the gas knob and push the piezo button

Bah! Cheater!
Well, actually I do Schwenkbraten nowadays like ...

Impressive!

The important thing is that you can play with it ... which is really
what BBQs are about

you can spin it, swing it, lift it up and down etc
