Chimney starters are for wusses.

All you have to do is pile the charcoal very tightly off to one side. Pile it extremely tight - use enough charcoal to evenly spread across the bottom. I don't know how big your grill is, so it will vary with how much charcoal you need. Don't overdo it, or you are going to end up with a grilling surface like that of the sun. If you're clueless as to how much to use, just spread some briquets across the bottom. I like to keep about a briquet's worth of spacing inbetween - I've found that this amount gives a pretty good cooking surface.

Douse the shit in lighter fluid. Light, and allow the flame to spread and burn for about 10-15 min (or as soon as the flame dies out, and you see glowing coals). Spread out the briquets along the bottom, and boom, good to go.

Also, while you have the charcoal to the side all piled up and on fire, it's a good opportunity to set the griddle over the flame to easily burn all the crap off. It'll loosen it all up, so all you have to do is drop the griddle on concrete a few times.
