Overview
The rundown on the All Natural Charcoal Starters
Light your Big Green Egg kamado or charcoal BBQ with total confidence every time using these All Natural Charcoal Starters — no chemical odours, no petroleum-based accelerants, and no compromise to the pure smoky flavour that charcoal grilling and smoking is all about. Made from natural wood fibres bound in a clean-burning refined wax, each cube ignites quickly and reliably, producing a steady, odourless flame that takes charcoal from cold to cooking temperature in minutes without tainting your food with synthetic aftertastes. The pack of 24 individual starter cubes means you'll always have a reliable light on hand for back-to-back weekend BBQ sessions.
Whether you're firing up a Big Green Egg for a slow-smoked brisket, getting a pellet grill started, or bringing a charcoal kettle to searing temperature for a backyard steak night, these starters are the clean, fuss-free solution trusted by serious Australian BBQ enthusiasts. Simply place one or two cubes beneath your charcoal or lump wood, light them with a match or long-reach lighter, and let them do the work — no chimney starter fluid, no lighter cubes laced with chemicals. Perfect for kamado setups, kettle BBQs, offset smokers, and charcoal outdoor kitchens where clean flavour is non-negotiable.
