Here is a box of paraffin fire starters. These are used in the Big Green Egg to light the lump charcoal. This picture shows a box of 128 with one of the square firestarter blocks sitting on top of the box in above the area with the flames.

IMG_8425-Photo-800x600

The paraffin fire starter is buried in the lulp with just a piece of the top exposed. The Zippo lighter shown at the top of this section is used to light a corner of the parrafin starter which burns for about 9 minutes and ignites the lump arount it. In this picture the firestarter was lit about 30 seconds beforehand. The rectangulr block you see is not the firestarter, but a chunk of hickory wood about an inch in fornt of the firestarter.
