I like mixing and matching with one of these:
It's a Weber Performer, and uses gas to ignite your <real wood, not lump> charcoal with the touch of a button. No lighter fluid, no screwing around with newspaper, etc. Coals get going fast, yet you can still use mesquite or hickory to your heart's content. Can cook long and slow or quick and fast.
Walmart has them for $299. I've had mine for 12 years now, and it's still going strong!
