Light your BBQ
Whether you’re firing up your charcoal BBQ or lighting your gas BBQ, we’ve got the tools to get you started.
Essential for any charcoal BBQ is a charcoal starter. This is one of the best BBQ accessories to have as it will do all the hard work for you. Simply fill your BBQ’s base with charcoal and add some fire lighters to your lower grill, lighting them with a windproof lighter.
Then it’s just a case of placing the starter on top of the fire and waiting 20-30 minutes for the charcoal pieces to turn white – that’s when you know they’re at the right temperature.
