Highly recommended fire starters from Melt

[Alan Brice]

Thanks Huskee I am in.

Innovator!!!

I've been using Tumbleweeds lately to light my charcoal and like them a lot. I just might give the "graham cracker" style fire starters a try the next time I order up some fire starters.

I tried the Weber cubes for a while. They worked fine in terms of lighting but created a massive mess. The dust as someone else mentioned plus basically having to break them into little bits to fit.

[STEbbq]

I have never noticed any dust/crumbles with the Rutland squares.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have two Weber cubes left and I was just gonna order some more. I’ll try these instead.

Huskee Are these cleaner than the Weber cubes? What I mean is, with Weber cubes there is always little bits of wax that fly everywhere when popping them out of the package.

[Steve R.]

Yeah STEbbq, I would never attempt a Weber cube in that since it would probably fall through long before it burned out.

[Finster]

they look very similar to the ones I've been using from Lowes...
similar price point as well, so may give these a go if Lowes is ever out of stock

I have used those and they are quick starters compared to Rutland starters. They are more brittle and smaller than Rutland, but also less expensive. I use an old tuna can to start them with a chimney.

The flat squares fit perfectly in the MB slot. The Weber cubes would have to be crushed up.

[Steve R.]

How do you like these with the Masterbuilt gravity feed? I really like Tumbleweeds, but a lot of times they are too fat to fit in the charcoal grate.

[STEbbq]

I have been working on my original box of Rutland squares for a while and I agree the design and overall concept is great. It looks like a lot more square type firestarters are available now so I’d be happy to give Melt a shot for my next box.

I use Masterbuilt and they are also similar, I also like this type of firestarter. Best of all for me, the Masterbuilts are available in my local Walmart, I haven't seen these other brands here. One thing I have found is they don't light up completely quite as fast as a Weber cube, but a kitchen torch helps with that.
