all natural bbq starters

rustyc · Posted: May 01 2007 Post subject: all natural bbq starters

Hi all,

I created all natural bbq starters because I got tired of the soot and nasty chemicals contained in commercial starters, fluids, and newspaper (which has bleach, petroleum based inks, etc...)

you can get the starters at http://www.naturalflare.com

I hope you like them. I think they are the best way to get a big pile of natural hardwood charcoal started with just one match.

thanks,
Rusty

Hi Rusty welcome to the forum!

Perhaps you would like to contact Garry about advertising your natural product?

You may put a link in your signature, but multiple posts on the same constant topic, are very likely to be considered spamming.

Please enjoy your time on the smoke ring, and allow others to do the same.

Those seem kind of pricey. I can get 24 parafin starters from webber for about a buck.

Last i checked parafin was a natural product too.

Im not trying to bash the product at hand, I've never used them, I just know what I can get right now.

But seriously it is a lot more fun to use a weed burner and 15 pounds of propane to light ten pounds of charcoal.

Hi all,

Thanks for the welcome and questions/comments. Very Happy

The starters are 100% all natural, plant based, and earth friendly.

As for Paraffin - Paraffin is derived from crude oil (the same stuff that is refined into gasoline). It is definitely NOT natural, and has been shown to product the same chemicals as the tailpipe of your car (including benzene). Crying or Very sad

Regarding price - you can definitely find a cheaper way to start a fire... but it could be argued that you can also find cheaper charcoal, cheaper meat, vegetables, etc... For me, the result (clean burning, no stinky smoke, or soot containing nasty chemicals left on my grill or food)is worth it! They may not be as dramatic as a weed burner and propane Laughing

, but they do an impressive job lighting a large pile of charcoal and leaving no trace.

SoEzzy - thanks for your suggestion... I may do that. Wink

As for spamming, I have no intention to post a bunch of unsolicited "buy from me" ads.

Quite frankly, I am really passionate about natural starters. Whether you buy natural starters from me or not, I enjoy the discussion and I love to share what I have learned and experienced about petroleum, paraffin, and natural alternatives. Very Happy

Thanks again,
Rusty

you should just ask them to start a natural fire starter section and then you could talk about your company and all your latest ad materials all you wanted...

I use a chimmney and a propane burner- all natural, fast, and cheap too! Wink

I generally use straight logs when smoking, and a log lighter to get-r-going. All natural, all wood good! Very Happy

I think that his point is that propane, parafin, lighter fluid and the like arent "Natural" products..

Major byproduct from burning LP is a little carbon and some water vapor. Very clean and green friendly Very Happy
