I used these little fire starter cubes that I got at Lowes. I put two in the middle of the charcoal and lit them. They worked well, but they both burned pretty hot making stabilizing the egg a little harder than expected. I lit them, left the egg open for a few minutes, then closed it and it shot up to almost 500 degrees, so it was a little playing around with it, but I eventually stabilized it. Either way, it's all good now.
