We have been caught with the same problem in the past. Absolute rubbish in some of the brands around.
Not as bad as one Christmas day when we found that the Heat beads were purchased but the fire lighters forgotten. We had to put the Webber onto the back of the Ute and take it down to the workshop where the oxy was used to light the beads and the Webber carefully moved back to the house. A little delayed but Christmas dinner was superb with roast pork and home grown and dressed duck.
