LOL. I went to a theater thing a few years back called “Defending the Caveman”, and they had a short video in the intro to the show...it shows a BBQ grill, and the wife has big oven mitts, tongs, and is gingerly stacking the individual briquets in a pyramid.

In speeded up video mode, the guy rushes into the scene, pushes her out of the way, grabs the entire bag of charcoal, holds it upside down and dumps the whole bag of charcoal into the grill, then he grabs a thing of lighter fluid, and proceeds to hold it above his head, squeezing strenuously with both hands to saturate the entire thing with enough lighter fluid to drown the briquettes, then takes a match and throws it on, where the video cuts to a nuclear explosion at Bikini Atoll!

It captured so perfectly the guy approach to fire!

The Purdue engineering department had an annual picnic that turned into a contest of how quickly the could light the grill. The final year involved a beaker of liquid oxygen on a long stick poured over the charcoal and a lit cigarette. I don’t think they found the grill.
