Any of yall use these fire starters?

I've never used them. They are designed to go under a chimney to start the coal. But I think I could use them right on the coals in the Egg.

Dammit I don't know how to post a pic. It's the webber coal starters.

dconder · March 2014

I use them. I cut them in half and light. They work good I think

I use Rutland Safe Lite, cut one square into 3 strips work great !

I used the egg brand starters a while back, and after the free box ran out I'm back to using oil paper towels. I would imagine they would work fine for a chimney also.

I use a weed burner, real easy and real fast!

I used the webers and Bge ones before getting a MAP torch. I liked them both. The webers are great because once lit, they won't go out.

I use the Rutland starters that come in like 144 to a box for about the same price as the BGE 36? count box. They seem to work well.

I use them for lighting egg at eggfests. Work fine

tksmoke · March 2014

Back in my Weber days, I used a chimney and the weber paraffin lighter squares. When I first got my egg, I used the Looflighter, and it works much faster than the chimney method. But then I reluctantly decided to try the weed torch with MAPP gas. It ROCKS!!! http://www.amazon.com/Bernzomatic-19425-Self-Igniting-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00008ZA0F/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1395500670&sr=8-4&keywords=bernzomatic+torch Once you try it, you won't go back.

I use the Weber's, like 'em. I usually light and then go prep, Egg is usually there when I'm ready. Use two or three if want to crank the Egg up a little faster . . .

MAP torch. ..good for cigars also.

TxBeekeeper · March 2014

Just to update. I used these one my first cook and they worked great. I used one and cut it into 3 pieces.

Cookinbob · March 2014

I used the webers years ago in a chimney. No problems but I have a MAP torch now

Zmokin · March 2014

I use the electric starter. I don't have to pull old lump out of the egg, just cram it under, pour on some new lump, plug her in and 7 minutes later remove it.

jscarfo · March 2014

I use weed burner, super quick

gpsegg · March 2014

+1 on the Rutlands.

Mattman3969 · March 2014

Rutlands work great. I cut each block into 4 pieces and place at 12-3-6-9 and let it roll. No difference in a hot n fast or a low n slow

cortguitarman · March 2014

I like them. Now I use a map torch and it is so much faster and cleaner. +1 on @henapple‌ on the cigars.

JRWhitee · March 2014

Paper towel soaked in olive oil

chashans · March 2014

Weed burner.

Cm23 · March 2014

I use a looflighter on my large, but like to use 1/2 BGE starter on the mini

Mickey · March 2014

Much easier.

PNWFoodie · March 2014

Okay, I'm just starting on my journey (research, have not yet done a cook)....but, um....that just doesn't look safe! :-O

keepervodeflame · March 2014

Yes, PNWFoodie, that picture gave me pause as well!

Mickey · March 2014

I do my two Larges as above and my Mini: Mapp Tourch

xiphoid007 · March 2014

I started with the wood/paraffin blocks and got a looftlighter for Christmas. Love the looftlighter. Way faster, easier, and nothing to have to buy, or worse, run out of!

Any of yall use these fire starters?
