Key Features

Oklahoma Joe’s Fire Starters provide an easy ignition option for people who want to avoid lighter fluid and harsh chemical starters.

They are designed to burn cleanly without adding unwanted smells or flavours to your cooking environment.

Easy to Light

Each starter lights much like a candle. Place it under or beside your fuel, ignite the exposed edge and allow the flame to begin heating the surrounding charcoal or wood.

No complicated setup or special equipment is required.

Helps Protect Food Flavour

Using lighter fluid can sometimes create unpleasant odours or flavours if it is not completely burned off before cooking.

Oklahoma Joe’s All-Natural Fire Starters are odorless and designed to help maintain the clean charcoal and wood-fired flavour of your food.

How to Use Oklahoma Joe’s Fire Starters

With a Charcoal Chimney Starter

Place one fire starter on a heat-resistant surface or charcoal grate. Position the loaded chimney starter directly over it, then ignite the starter.

Allow the charcoal to burn until the upper pieces begin to ash over before carefully pouring the charcoal into your cooker.

In a Charcoal Pile

Place one starter near the bottom or centre of the charcoal pile. Arrange charcoal loosely around it while leaving enough airflow for the flame.

Light the starter and allow the surrounding charcoal to ignite before adjusting your vents or spreading the coals.

In an Offset Smoker or Wood Cooker

Place the fire starter beneath a small amount of charcoal, kindling or dry wood. Light it and gradually add larger fuel pieces as the fire becomes established.

In a Fire Pit

Place the starter beneath dry kindling or smaller pieces of firewood. Keep enough space between the wood pieces to allow oxygen to reach the flame.

Always follow normal outdoor fire-safety practices and local fire restrictions.
