Solid Grill Fire Starters

Rutland Safe Lite Fire Starter Squares Box of 24 Squares

Why choose it

Choose the 24-piece box if you want a smaller supply of recycled wood-chip, paper-fiber and wax starters; Hardware World says they will not flavor food.12

Before you buy

Keep these starters dry: Bob Vila could not light the squares immediately after taking them out of a glass of water.3
