Big Green Egg SpeediLight Charcoal Starter Cubes 20 Count

Overview

Placing one cube beneath the charcoal and lighting it is all the method calls for, and no lighter fluid is needed. The paraffin and wood cubes are unscented and sold for Big Green Egg grills, smokers, fires and bonfires.

Cubes that go under the coals make a clean start for charcoal fires, and the unscented material is the point for food. The limits are a brand field that reads Generic and a listing that gives no burn time or cube size.

Who it's for

Backyard cooks who light charcoal in a grill or smoker, and campers lighting a fire pit, can use a cube per fire. Gas grill users and anyone who needs a published burn duration should skip these.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Paraffin burns steadily while the wood helps the flame spread, so a cube placed under the coals lights the pile from below as heat rises through it. Lighting from the bottom matters more than cube count, and the listing gives no burn time to plan around.
