Who likes gelled fire starter?

Fwismoker · Apr 20, 2015

I'm very happy how i start my fires ( which is primarily chimney and torch) but i'm all for squirting a little gel on the little bit of charcoal I like to light right in my basket. If its raining snowing etc.. I wouldn't mind lighting gel with my torch and saving on propane if it burns off quick.

So who has used it?

I have not used it but pretty much rely on the little Weber cubes. They work great so I'm guessing that "napalm in a squeeze bottle" would work fine also.

Actually a video i just watched convinced me that its basically hand sanitizer but a tad thicker. I have no problem pumping a half ts hand sanitizer on a couple coals and seeing what happens. Lol.... its just alcohol

The newspaper puts out ungodly terrible smoke on my chimney.

.

Granted, it's the Washington Post.

I hold a propane torch under my chimney to light it if I have time -
less noxious smoke -

Weber Cube. Rain, sleet or snow.

Well, there is your answer!! Seriously though, mine smokes also when it first starts, but before the briqs are lit, the smoke is gone and just thin blue is visible. I use cooking oil soaked paper towels instead of newsprint now.

I bet a can of sterno is cheaper than that napalm toothpaste just dip out a dab. I use the weed torch exclusively

Heck Cooking oil may cost more than the Weber cubes in some cases.

I use gel exclusively just a little pool under my chimney. Works great.

c farmer · Apr 20, 2015

I use it, to start my coal stove. Works great.

Weber cubes here.

80% of the time use weed burner, 20% Weber cubes.

Weber cubes are probably a li'l cheaper but it's just a lot of fun having a weed burner in one hand and a beer in the other.

I know what i'm gonna try the next smoke:shock:

I use the weber cubes all the time for the smoker, cheap and easy.

Weber cubes, weed burner or my 100K+ BTU HP single burner turkey fryer. Never tried the "napalm" stuff, but I'm always looking for new ways to play w/ fire.
