strike-a-fire starters

twovkay · April 2010

Has anyone use this? They are about 4-5 inches long and are made of wax and sawdust. And will burn for 12 minutes. I was planning to cut them into 3 pieces.

And got my fire grate from the dealer today, turns out the people who put the one I purchased together threw out the grate. It took 15 minutes of searching the new box for them to find me a grate!

Now just need the nerve to start my BGE!

Use them all the time. I have them shipped from over seas. Much cheaper. Dollar for 16 sticks, they have a 12min burn.

rosros, is there a link for ordering them overseas? A dollar for 16 is great. I got 8 for $1.50. I guessing I would get 3 pieces from each stick and would end up using 3 pieces of the BGE wax starters, which cost $4.99 per box of 24. So the Strike a fire seems like a deal.

I used to use them all the time. I used to break them into three pieces and spread them at 12, 4 and 8 O'clock on the egg.

With starter cubes like those you need to leave the dome open for a while till they burn out or you will have a smoke fest for a few minutes...

Then I got a Mapp torch for Xmas, and never used them again. Have a couple boxes left and a box of BGE starte cubes, maybe I'll take those camping...

My mother in law sends it over within the care packages. They are in the dollar stores over there. Sorry no link.
