These FSC firelighters get your kamado going without any hassle. Just tuck one or two between the charcoal, light them and let the rest happen. The firelighters burn long enough to really get the surrounding charcoal going, even on a slightly damp evening. You get a 1kg bag, enough for plenty of sessions.
Why FSC firelighters instead of lighter fluid
Lighter fluid gives a quick flame, but also a chemical smell that you taste back in the first piece of meat on the grate. These firelighters are made from wood fibre and wax and burn clean, so your food tastes of smoke, not fuel.
- 1kg bag, wood from FSC-certified forestry
- No chemical aftertaste in your first dish
- Keeps burning until the charcoal takes over
- Also works in damp weather
- Works in the kamado, the kettle barbecue and the chimney starter
How to light your kamado
Fill the fire basket generously with charcoal and make a small hollow in the middle. Place a firelighter in it, light it and leave the lid open until you see a small flame take hold. Then close the lid and control the temperature with the top and bottom vents. For a long session at a low temperature, light one spot; for quick searing, spread two firelighters across the basket.
Pair them with a charcoal that catches well, such as Marabu charcoal, or choose from the full charcoal range. All fuel, smoking wood and firelighters are grouped together in the charcoal, smoking wood and firestarters category.
