“The easiest way to light a barbecue is to use a Grenadier Electric Firelighter. I have one of these for lighting barbecues, or for getting a nice fire going at home in the winter. These bits of kit are great because you don’t have to find dry wood or kindling or scrunch up bits of paper to get the fire started. But most important of all, there is absolutely no need to use any chemical firelighters or liquid fuels. It will even light wet wood and coals in just a few minutes! Please don’t use those little firelighter blocks you can buy in bags – they give off really dreadful fumes that will end up flavouring your food. Horrible.”
