So after reading this forum for months. I've finally tried the top down burning method. Having built fires for 40 years I was quite skeptical about it. I can now say I won't light a fire the old way ever again. It works like magic. No smoke, no haggling.
So if your reading this and have never tried it. Don't build another fire until you try it yourself.
