Nothing wrong with the chimney starters to try and speed things up. I use them all the time in my PK Grill for SCA competitions. The thing is with the BGE's I see no benefit, but that's just my experience. Whether you use a chimney or light in the egg, it still takes about the the same amount of time to get the egg stabilized and cooking. The benefit of the BGE is the stability the ceramic produces when it gets hot and ready to cook. If you're looking for a quick cook those little Hibatchi's are awesome, and I'm not [bleep] you, they will cook anything quickly. But, I will cook the same food the same way on my small and mini BGE's and you will like it better every time.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.
