The fire starter cubes are designed for igniting lump charcoal and to burn clean and odorless. They are non-toxic and chemical free and will burn up to 1300 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes—even when wet.
Here's why that matters: chemical-laden fire starters can impart off-flavours to your food, especially during the critical first hour when your kamado is coming up to temperature. These cubes burn completely clean, leaving zero taste or smell beyond the natural charcoal and wood smoke you actually want.
The 1300-degree burn temperature isn't just impressive—it's functional. Lump charcoal needs serious heat to get fully ignited, and these cubes deliver enough sustained burn to get your fire established properly. Eight to ten minutes gives the charcoal time to catch and spread, even in less-than-ideal conditions.
The "even when wet" part? That's not marketing hyperbole. Left them in the rain? Stored them in a damp shed? They'll still light and burn hot. One or two cubes typically does the job, making a bag last through many cooks. Non-toxic and chemical-free means you can store them anywhere without worry.
