Well that's two spur of the moment purchases in the last week thanks to this group of enablers! But to be fair I was running out of tumbleweeds anyways so this purchase was inevitable. Thanks for the suggestion.
So on Amazon.ca the ones in the wood box are $231.67 and the ones in the cardboard box are $34.70 (both 10 lbs worth). That makes the cost of that storage box $196.97. Think I'll take a pass. :-)
Huskee, I find the fatwood sticks put off too much dirty black smoke for my liking. It doesn't matter much when lighting charcoal in any other situation, but I follow the MB lighting instructions and close it up and let the fan do the work once the lighter is fully lit. It's probably fine, but I can't get past that in my mind.
Lots of ways to light a chimney. For occasions where you can't do that- such as when lighting a pile of coals inside a Slow 'N Sear, or when otherwise not using a chimney or not having access to a burner, these are great.
Yes, there's none of that. You might get a little dust or maybe some crumbs from breaking them apart, but nowhere near the waste as with cubes. Much less packaging waste too.
I have some Tumbleweeds but haven't used 'em yet. I liked these so much I kept going straight to them. I love how handy they are for me personally. The box is about as big as a thick encyclopedia and there's 160 of those buggers in there. Less packaging waste and storage room needed than the Weber cubes. Although the cubes will still light when soaking wet, so they are still in my rotation for their strengths.
