How Many Firelighters Do You Need for Your BBQ?

How many Eco-Lighter firelighters do you need for your BBQ?

The Eco-Lighter firelighters are highly efficient, so you only need one, at most two, to effortlessly light any BBQ. Thanks to their high combustion temperature of over 500 degrees and a burn time of 20-25 minutes, they provide enough heat to ignite coals or wood without hassle.

Below you'll find an overview of how many firelighters you need for different BBQ brands and models:

1. Weber BBQ and Smokers

   Weber barbecues, such as the Weber Smokey Mountain and the Weber Master-Touch, are known for their good airflow and effective combustion.

   Recommended amount: 1 firelighter.

   Due to the efficient air circulation, one block is enough to get the coals burning quickly and evenly.

   Recommended amount for smokers: 1 to 2 Eco-Lighter firelighters.

2. Big Green Egg

   The Big Green Egg is a popular kamado-style barbecue that retains heat well due to its ceramic structure.

   Recommended amount: 1 firelighter.

   The good insulation of the Big Green Egg ensures that you can easily start the fire with just one block.

3. Kamado Joe

   Like the Big Green Egg, the Kamado Joe offers good temperature control and airflow.

   Recommended amount: 1 firelighter.

   With controlled air supply, you can quickly and easily get a stable fire with just one block.

4. OFYR

   The OFYR barbecue is a versatile wood-fired grill plate, ideal for larger groups.

   Recommended amount: 1 to 2 firelighters (depending on the diameter and height of the bowl).

   Since the surface is larger, two blocks on different sides can help spread the fire quickly and evenly.

5. BBQ Plancha

   For a plancha barbecue, which often operates on wood, the Eco-Lighter blocks ensure that you quickly reach the desired cooking temperature.

   Recommended amount: 1 firelighter.

   Thanks to the powerful combustion of the block, one is sufficient to heat the plancha quickly.

General Tips for Using Eco-Lighter Firelighters

• Placement: Place the firelighter under the coals or wood, close to the air supply for optimal combustion.
• Efficiency: Use fewer blocks if your BBQ has good air circulation, such as with Kamado and Weber models.
• Safety: Eco-Lighter blocks burn without harmful fumes and offer controlled combustion, making them safe for indoor and outdoor use.

The Eco-Lighter firelighters are versatile and perfectly suitable for various BBQ models, from small kamados to large wood-fired grills like the OFYR. With just one or two blocks, you not only save on kindling but also make your barbecue experience more environmentally friendly and safer.
