Overview
A charcoal griller who wants to skip lighter fluid gets a pack of paraffin and wood cubes that go under the coals and light with a flame. They are sold for Big Green Egg grills and smokers, and the title also names fires and bonfires.
Cubes are quick to use: place one under the charcoal, light it and let the coals catch. The odorless label is the claim that matters for food cooking. The limit is that the listing gives no burn time, so the number of cubes for a large load is a matter of trial.
Who it's for
Charcoal grill and smoker users who light a fresh load often will go through a pack like this, and fire pit users can use the cubes for bonfires as the title suggests. Gas grill owners and buyers who need a published burn duration should skip it.
Pros and cons
- Odorless, no lighter fluid needed
- Paraffin and wood construction
- Compact cubes for under the coals
- Usable in other charcoal grills and bonfires
- Burn time not listed
- Brand field reads Generic, not Big Green Egg
- Not a lighter for gas grills
Performance notes
Paraffin and wood burn long enough to light the coals above them when the cube is placed beneath the pile, so heat rises through the charcoal. Placement matters more than flame size. Without a listed burn time, the number of cubes for a large fire has to be found by use.
