Charcoal doesn't have to be a super time consuming affair. No, it will never be as fast as just lighting a gas/propane grill, but it doesn't have to take 45 min or more to get it going.
It may be obvious to say, but the key to getting charcoal to light and a good fire going is airflow. Typically when you would start a charcoal grill, you start your light with a cube or whatever, and then let the ambient air start the charcoal. However, if you want to speed up the process, introduce more air via fan or other forced air method. I've been doing this for a couple of years now and I can get my charcoal going in 15-20 mins no problem.
