Safe. Simple. Versatile. Made of corn sugar and wood pulp, will light briquettes without the need for kindling, paper or sprays. Unlike cubes, this lighter is made from recycled wood, volcanic rock, and a new, patented blend of food-grade paraffin wax. It is benzene-free and an excellent alternative to slow-to-burn briquettes, blocks, or cheap, toxic, flammable liquids. It doubles as an emergency preparedness accessory; has a 30 year shelf life; and stores safely near food, pets and children. Perfect for those who love the outdoors and want to cook or boil water while backpacking, snowmobiling, hiking or camping. See bullets and images for more details.
