Natural Instant Fire Starters
Obtain the best results by cooking the all-natural way. Our popular Natural Fire Starters come in boxes of 24 convenient squares. They light easily, are odourless, tasteless, fast, clean and safe - containing no toxic substances. Use in conjunction with Big Green Egg Natural Lump Charcoal for a quick and easy chemical-free cook. To use, nestle one or two fire starters into the charcoal and light.
Please note: Never use lighter fluid in your EGG. It will be absorbed into the ceramics, permanently contaminating your EGG with nasty chemicals and tainting the flavour of your food. Instead, use BGE natural fire starters which are odour-free and will be the fastest method of reaching a cooking temperature without any exposure to chemical fumes.
About Big Green Egg
The Big Green Egg is more than just a BBQ; it can be used to bake, roast, smoke, sear, grill, slow cook and more. No matter the method, food will not dry out thanks to the unique design of the Egg which locks moisture in and keeps it circulating around the food. With unlimited possibilities and cooking flexibility you can use it for the usual burgers and sausages or, if youre feeling adventurous, for pizzas, roast chickens, smoked fish, pulled pork, smoked duck, scallops or even Christmas fruit cake and turkeys! The results are far superior to anything you can achieve on a normal BBQ and require minimal effort - just shut the lid and relax!
The Big Green Egg is made using high-tech ceramics developed for NASA which insulate to retain heat and moisture in a way never achieved on normal BBQs. The surface has an enamel coating which will not rust and protects the EGG from the elements - it can be left outside and cooked on all year round, come rain or snow! The surface also stays cooler than metal grills which makes it safer around children. The company are so confident in their product that the ceramics on Big Green EGG have a Limited Life Time guarantee.
These EGGs are redefining the way we barbecue and can now be seen in many Michelin star restaurants, which is true testament to their quality and versatility.
How to use the EGG
The Big Green Egg is designed to be left with the lid closed while cooking which makes it much easier for you to relax and enjoy the experience of barbecuing without constantly turning and tending. The BBQ lights quickly, without lighter fluid, and can be ready to cook within 15 minutes. It is also an incredibly fuel efficient way to barbecue so there is no need to add more charcoal whilst cooking.
Big Green Eggs are designed to run on natural lump charcoal which burns hotter and with fewer impurities than briquettes and doesnt contain chemicals or fillers. Never use briquettes or lighter fluid in the Big Green Egg because their chemicals can be absorbed by the EGG and transfer these unnatural flavours into your food. Do not burn wood on your EGG.
Burping the EGG is an important technique which helps prevent flashbacks and potential burns, particularly when cooking at high temperatures. Lift the lid about 2 inches and bounce it up and down slightly for a few seconds, allowing the rush of oxygen to burn safely before opening the lid fully.
When you have finished cooking replace the dual-function metal top with the ceramic snuffer cap and close the bottom vents to put out the flames. The unburned charcoal can then be used the next time you cook. Items which are not protected by the durable enamel should be kept out of the elements - keep internal components inside the EGG and store the dual-function metal top internally to protect it from rusting when the EGG is not in use.
This video contains some helpful tips and tricks for using and cleaning your Big Green Egg. Be sure to follow all of the instructions that come with your EGG and you will enjoy a lifetime of barbecuing!
