Lighter cubes

[Bruno]

Just came across Weber lighter cubes on sale Target for $2.34. Lowe’s has them at $4.99 now so not too bad, I grabbed 10 packs.

Just saw a guy making starters with dryer lint, and candle wax in egg cartons, anyone try that?

Timothy, that's an *OLD* Boy Scout technique.

I was never an old boy scout!

Not at my local Targets, bummer!

All the Targets around here cleared out all their grilling stuff a couple months back. Probably will be bringing back in stock any day now.

That might be OK for a camp fire but I don't think I'd like grilling over a fire started with polyester and fabric softener.

And or dog hair in my experience.

The Walmart in my area clears them out for $1/pack so be on the lookout...usually end of summer.

I've made them from wood shavings and paraffin in egg cartons, don't need much. The Weber cubes are more convenient but I find them a bit of a hassle to get out of the tray.

.. but I find them a bit of a hassle to get out of the tray.

I agree with this. I typically place a new tray in a 1 gallon ziplok and extract all of them at once so I don't have to deal with it during each light.

I might try this, good idea.

Once you open a pack it's a good idea to store them in a baggie anyways. If you compromise one of the individual foil seals, the cubes will dry out in time.
I had some in the camper over a winter and a few cubes shrunk and didn't burn very well. The cells that were still air tight were fine.

I like that idea. Thanks for that.

Great Product but now that I have my new Weber Performer Deluxe Grill I will be using far fewer.
