Just don't add too much wire as you want to avoid ash buildup. You also need some coals to fall through to ignite the wood chunks.

True - didn't think of that.....

As others have posted, weaving a wire should help.

I just used two 1/4" SS rods. That was enough.

I light a cube, close the ash door, keep the fill door open, put something on the top button to start the fan and let it go for a few minutes to get the burn going quicker. Haven't had an issue yet. I use a piece of 2" welded wire fencing cut to size to keep the charcoal from falling through. I've also heard of cutting an old grill grate to size.
