Weber Fire Starter Cubes

[16Adams]

My Brickseek show two nearby Walmart with Weber Cubes one dollar per box. It also shows unknown quantity. I'm not going to get out of my easy chair to go Walmarting, but if I had a reason to be there, I'd look. Been using Rutland Squares a couple years now with occasional Tumbleweed sales and torch.

I keep a good stock of Tumbleweeds on hand.

I like the Rutland better. But I'm cheap so if I needed some I'd be on my way.

i just wad up some newspaper and drizzle some veg oil on it. Works just as good in a pinch.

Weber Starter cubes don't have an ex date. I would put some in a survival kit. My Go-To for years.

If i had to guess, its basicly wax mixed with lighter fluid, no surprise it will last forever.

The paper towels I dry my bacon on in the morning start my fire in the evening.

Rutland for the win!

The best I have ever found them for was $1.25, also got a chimney for $9. I bought 3 or 4 boxes them but now I'm out, so I will keep a lookout for them. Thanks for the heads up.

There are other starters I like better in general but I do like the weber cubes for starting a low and slow cook on the slow and sear.

They're showing at $3 near me -- which still isn't a bad price

Is it just me or does this sound a little dirty? [emoji2357]

It was just you, but now everyone else thinks that. 'preciate that, Paul.

They have disappeared in my usual stores.
Tumble Weeds have taken over, but they are spendy!

We bought some "Yuper Fire Starters" in Escanaba a couple months back for lighting campfires.
Empty t.p. rolls stuffed with shredded paper and drizzled with paraffin.
They work great!
Im thinking of making some and some smaller versions for the grill.
Now, I just need some free time...

Girl Scout fire starters

I use homemade starters. Use the paper Egg cartons, not foam. Stuff 2 cotton balls in each egg section. I buy Gulfwax from Super market in the canning and pickle section. Cost about 3 bucks for enough for 2 dozen units.
Carefully heat 2 of the 4 units of paraffin in a soup can and melted on your OUTSIDE GRILL OR Smoker. Can be very volatile if used inside. Pour wax over cotton balls. Cost about 2 bucks a dozen and completely odor free.

Starter

i just wad up some newspaper and drizzle some veg oil on it. Works just as good in a pinch.

I go one step cheaper, tearing the charcoal bag as I go, drizzle with oil or spray with Pam to light the chimney. I do keep some cubes around for starting a fire in the grill.

A while back the local grill shop had some Primo “lighters”- molded starter material with a big match stick on the end. The match stick never worked. Fail.

Pure Paraffin, no fluid. No smell and the burn very hot for along time.
