I just saw this page for the first time and thought the section on how to make your own starter cubes using leftover candle wax looked interesting. For those who have tried this, I would think this would leave a glob of melted wax in the grill after it burns down, no??

Rumor has it that Panhead John makes them during his morning rituals. But you know how rumors get started. I suggest sending him a BM for further details (whoops I meant PM, my bad)

Save your paper egg cartons, fill each egg cup with shreddings from your paper shredder, and pour in the melted paraffin. Then cut the filled egg cups apart as you need them. One per chimney is typically enough for me. The whole starter burns to ash. No globs; just a well started charcoal fire.

Retired, living in Western Mass. Enjoy music, cooking and my family.
Current cookers Weber Spirit 3 burner with a full insert griddle added. A 22" Kettle with vortex SnS and OnlyFire pizza oven. A Smokey Joe and the most recent addition a Pit Barrel Jr with bird hanger, 4 hooks and cover. ThermoWorks Smoke 2 probe, DOT, ThermoPops and a Thermapen MK4. 3 TempSpike wireless meat thermometers.
Thanks for the idea. However, for $5 for 24 cubes I'll stick with the Weber starters. And another thank you for the reminder. I am almost out so I'm going to order a couple of boxes.

A long time ago, someone here said they saved the oil-soaked blue paper towels they used to clean their griddle for use as a fire starter. Whoever it was is a genius.
I started doing this and it works very well. I keep them in a bucket with a lid. Works good in chimney starter, gravity series, vortex...whatever needs lit.
