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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
