What kind of smoker are you using? I just put about 18lbs into my WSM with a chimey of it lit so it'll run all day.
I never use match light only because I hate the smell/taste of whatever fuel they add to the briquets. I prefer a good hardwood lump. In a pinch I'll use a briquet, but never use lighter fluid or match light. Invest in a chimeny starter.
