Muun is a simple way to do this with just one step. It's the only thing I use that wallet for but it's really good at it. Just use an exchange with free LN withdrawals. Then when fees are lower, move to chain from Muun. You just pay the mining fee.

Muun is great as long as fees are low, and as long as you didn’t initially receive a bunch of small transactions into Muun. Since Muun considers your funds to be on-chain (always), then sending to an on-chain address with a UTXO made from many small UTXOs - that you received via Lightning - can still cost a ridiculous amount in miner fees. I know because I tried recently lol

Would this approach also help to consolidate many small UTXOs for cheap(er), since those combined coins would normally incur much larger fees for any given sat/vB rate?

For the average pleb using a software wallet, your sats flow and time horizons should be as follows:&#10;&#10;Lightning <> Liquid -> Bitcoin&#10;da...

If waiting and hoping for low fees and better, more efficient tools is not the strategy you are looking for, checks those resources for ideas to DCA, stack and spend while avoiding high fees and unspendable UTXOs using tools currently available.
