Fire Starters

Fire starters are used to ignite charcoal or firewood in a brazier, firebox, or other open-fire cooking equipment. They help establish the initial flame and prepare the fuel for maintaining the required heat.

Available forms include liquids, gels, solid blocks, and other prepared kindling materials, each with its own application method. Selection should account for the fuel type, operating conditions, and how the starter is distributed. A product applied at several points may suit charcoal, while a solid starter can be placed among wood chips and logs when lighting firewood.

Ease of dosing, ignition speed, and the burning duration of the starter material are also meaningful criteria. The correct procedure depends on its form and composition, so it should be used only for its intended purpose and according to the manufacturer's directions.
