I've tried everything out there.. Fritos is the best fire starter. Plus you have a great smoke aroma, not that starter fluid smell. I also have used cooking oil with some newspaper. Also try small tree limbs and bark if possible. They work wonders. Again, never use chemicals to start a fire especially if you are going to BBQ.
P.S. for firewood we use mesquite, oak, and some pecan. 'No Charcoal Please". Again, always open for ideas.
