What Customers Are Saying
The product is widely praised for its ability to quickly and easily ignite charcoal without the use of lighter fluid. Customers report that just one or two cubes are sufficient to start a full chimney of charcoal in less than 10 minutes, with no unpleasant odor or taste on the food. The cubes are described as providing a clean, fume-free burn that works reliably even in windy conditions. While a few customers found the cubes somewhat messy or expensive, the majority are highly satisfied and consider the product an essential tool for effortless charcoal grilling.

Lights up fast, but messy as little flakes of the starter cube end up all over the place. Packaging could be easier to use as well

Lighter cubes
Would Not RecommendWe’ve always used these but this year they are all crumbly. Can’t even get them out of the tray they come Ian.

Very Handy!
Would RecommendThese are wonderful for getting a fire started quickly, either in a charcoal grill or in a burn pile for brush. I like the fact that there's no flavor residue affecting the charcoal, unlike lighter fluid. Their solid shape makes them safer to handle too.
