We held another successful Certified by Weber BBQ event at Sunshine Garden Centre on the 30th July Read More > Being a member of the WoW BBQ team means that if you weren't already a Weber BBQ nut before joining, Read More > This is wood from trees that are planted, grown and harvested in ways that benefit the planet. Then look for fire starters that contain wood that is a by-product of a regular commercial wood process – the leftover wood bits (sawdust or dust usually) that are usually thrown away. AGE/LONGEVITY- I don't know what mfg specs are for the expected lifespan of these are, but I've no doubt that if they're stored in an Airtight/Waterproof container, then they'll exceed your expectations. Pure-wax starters can melt through the grill grate, leaving a bit of residue and making them less effective. To reduce the residue, Laing recommends setting a couple of briquettes on the grill’s charcoal grate, balancing a starter cube on top, and then lighting the cube before setting a chimney full of charcoal over it.

Dan Cooper from Weber UK has been working on this recipe for several years and we think he may have just Read More > The pods’ size leads to their long burn time: each starter is larger than the other tested options. The open top of the cup makes it easy to light but also a bit messier, with some shavings flaking off in the storage bag. It should come as no surprise that we've tried and tested a lot of wings here at WOWBBQ HQ over the years Read More >
Charcoal grills will always leave some ash behind that should be cleaned out after every use to keep the grill in top shape and cooking evenly. Newspaper and kindling can add to the ash load, but wax-based starters are designed to burn down more cleanly. Part of the Gourmet Barbecue System - add straight into the tailored slot on your GBS cooking grate Read More >Comparing fire starter prices can be challenging, because some are one-and-done pods, others need refueling, and others are a one-time expense (not counting the charcoal and matches). Buy a charcoal chimney and scrounge for paper or kindling if you want a tool that will last for years without added cost. In testing, a single lighter cube was enough to get a chimney of charcoal going, so adding a bag to your supplies, especially for wet or windy days, can be worth the price. QUALITY/RELIABILITY- The cube lit as soon as a spark hit it. While this may be age and airtight seal dependent, it worked in a difficult situation. If 288 cubes of fire lighter seems to be too much for your fire-starting plans, choose the 96 pieces option instead. Pros The cone-shaped grate in the bottom of the chimney encourages flames to rise through the center of the charcoal. You do need a way to get those flames going, such as stuffing newspaper or dryer lint under the chimney before setting it on the charcoal grate or setting kindling or a lighter pod on the charcoal grate before placing the chimney over it. Once flames start, it takes 15 to 20 minutes for a full chimney to be ready to use.
Sunday, the day of rest - if only! Still completely confused as to what time of the day it was, we embarked Read More > Safer options include propane torches and electric starters. Some models direct a flame and even blow air onto the charcoal from above, and others are placed at the bottom of the charcoal to get a flame going. The easiest way to light a charcoal grill is to fill a chimney with charcoal, put flammable material under the chimney grate, and light the material, letting the flames rise through the chimney to ignite the charcoal. This technique is effective with lump charcoal or briquettes that haven’t been pretreated with a match-light activator. Crumpled newspaper, dryer lint, kindling, and commercially made starters are all flammable options that you can light with a match or long-nose lighter. Chili Dogs or Chilli Dogs? Whatever they were, they were delicious! #wowbbq #theweberexperts #weberworldstore Read More >Beyond flammable material and a match, there are a few other ways to start charcoal in a grill. The least ideal is lighter fluid, which can be extremely dangerous and releases intense fumes into the air around you and into your food. If you do use lighter fluid, it’s unsafe to pour it directly onto a hot flame; instead, add it to unheated charcoal and then light the charcoal with a long-nosed lighter. I used to be adamant that a classic grilled burger was the best way forward, simply cooked over charcoal Read More > To use a charcoal chimney starter, place flammable material under the chimney’s grate and charcoal in the chimney’s tower and then light the material with a match. Once the starter’s flames spread to the charcoal, they will climb up the tower until they dance out the top, heating the charcoal and starting to coat it in white ash. After about 15 or 20 minutes (or less if you only partially filled the chimney), the coals will be ready to dump onto the grill.
