Hey

Anyone know where I can get the compressed wood dust firelights like you get with a BGE, but without BGE tax on top (i.e. unbranded)? Heaven forbid a petrochemical comes near the little green egg!

I think Tesco used to do them as value firelighters, or something? Can't find them now.

cheers

I use these: http://www.landmann.de/landmann/en/acce ... ing-blocks

But the place I usually get them from (http://www.planetbarbecue.co.uk) is out of stock & has been for a while.

Screw up a bit of news paper and add a small amount of veg' oil and this will get the charcoal going.

I find this adds a funny taste and smell but kitchen roll doesn't when soaked in a little oil, the landmann cubes are good if you can track them down. Failing that my back up is an electric paint stripper.

What about one of the cheap weedburners would they do?

i use these in my Kamado £2.50 a pack
