That and sticks and twigs stuffed into the top of the chimney starter.
Save your old cooking oil.... newspapers, old catalogs for your chimney
fire starters.
Not to mention stems, twigs and seeds.
The stalks and stems from spices offered up in smoke.
Dried unused ends of chiles.
Grist for the mill.
The spirit of grilling/smoking all and all.
