The first couple of times I used the minion method, I lit a few pieces of charcoal using my chimney upside down with a couple of pieces of newspaper. It worked just fine, but the last 2 smokes I’ve done, I can’t get it to light. The newspaper either falls down the chimney and is too far from the charcoal or it just burns up before the charcoal takes off. Any tips? Last night, I tried every combination of right side up, upside down, newspaper above or below the basket inside the chimney. I have the standard Weber chimney. Is the smaller one needed if only lighting a few (8-12) pieces?
