Propane Fueled
Firestick
A few years back my
cousin built me a propane fueled firestick that I used to start
wood in a barrel style BBQ pit. You could use it to light even
wet wood. When I got my Egg I found it would light lump in minutes.
I have taken some pictures of it unassembled so that you can
see how it was made. All you need is a gas valve, some gas connectors,
copper pipe, a burner tip and a little imagination. I am sure
there are many variations that could be used to make something
similar.
