Chimney starters are by far the best way to start charcoal, especially for long slow cooking where the smell of the solvent in charcoal starter fluid can ruin the taste of the meat. Read how to start a charcoal fire here.
If you are shopping for a grill that can also smoke, a great inexpensive solution is the good old fashioned Weber Kettle.
A stripped down model is still less than $200, and with the addition of a device called the Slow ‘N’ Sear for about another $100, you get a system that can both grill and smoke superbly, albeit with limited capacity. On one side it corrals all the coals behind a water reservoir; the food goes on the indirect side
to smoke-roast at the perfect temperature. When you want to sizzle on the sauce (or sear a steak) you place it right above the glowing coals.
