I must say, the grill lighting is pretty damn impressive.

There's some comments to that effect on George Gobel's web page about
accelerating charcoal grill lighting with LOX... He cautions the
experimentacious reader to have an ignition source (he uses a cigar,
IIRC) present amongst the briquettes to avoid turning them into
latent detonation devices.
His page _used to be_ at http://ghg.ecn.purdue.edu/~ghg/ , but there's
a comment now from earlier this year about its removal. :-( I worked at a company for over a year that did
work with
liquid oxygen... Liquid o2 spilled on anything organic and
allowed to seep into it can be very explosive...
Combustible substances (saw dust, cotton, ...) soaked with liquid oxygen
were sometimes used as explosive (called oxyliquit or somesuch).
