Primo Quick Lights Firestarters get lump charcoal going from a match, with no lighter fluid involved. Sit one down in among the pieces near the center of the firebox, light it, and leave the lid open and the bottom vent wide while it burns. Give it long enough to set the charcoal around it properly alight before you close the lid and start setting your vents for the cook you have in mind. This listing is the 24-count case.

The reason to keep a box near the grill is what a firestarter does not do. Lighter fluid soaks into porous lump and into the ceramic itself, and the smell has a way of turning up again in the first thing you cook. A firestarter burns out and is gone. They also store dry more or less indefinitely and need no power, which makes them the practical option for a grill that travels — a Primo Oval Junior ceramic charcoal grill on a Primo GO Portable Base for the Oval Junior, for instance.

Use them with Primo 100% Natural Lump Charcoal in any of the Primo ceramic charcoal grills. If your grill stays on the patio near an outlet, the Primo Electric Charcoal Starter covers the same ground with nothing to restock.
