I had good luck with using some of those fire starter squares that look to be made of compressed sawdust and paraffin. As long as you put enough of them in the bottom and there is space for air to flow through, it'll go. Everything burned down very nicely to fine, white ash. (Wondering if I can add it to the garden or if it has substances in it that will harm the plants rather than help.)

The chimney I have says on the label to not use starter fluid for some reason. (?)
