You could try it in your dresser drawer, but it didn't work that well for me. Hmm, maybe if I used more of them.My samples just came in...they smell wonderful, almost too good to burn...(almost)
What kind of heat gun? I wouldn't think that a regular 1500 watt hair dryer-type heat gun would. This something special?Well, it looks like I have another use for these starters. We just scored on a yard sale Weber Silver grill with the rapidfire chimney starter accessory. Used maybe twice, all for $20 and with a bag of briquettes. Such a deal! Tonight was the inauguration. I got the charcoal ready and then started thinking, balled up newspaper is not going to work that well with the starter. Normally I use a powerful electric heat gun to start the charcoal, but it's packed away due to the garage replacement. What to do? No charcoal lighter fluid on hand, I don't like the stuff. Then a light went off in my head. SuperCedars should do the trick. I broke off a quarter chunk and lit it. Placed it under the charcoal and voila! A perfect start with no fumey charcoal lighter smell. It worked perfect. 15 minutes later I have some good hot coals. Worked like a charm.

Yup, that's what I meant by "regular type". Surprised that it works to start briquettes.Nothing fancy, I've had this unit for years. With an 1100output temp, it ignites the charcoal very well. You just hold it directly to the bricks and in a minute or so, they start glowing.
The brand is no longer sold, but it's something like this one:

Begreen,
Thank you for the post. The competition BBQ crowd use Super Cedar as you describe. Leaves no fluid smell and lights the briquetts faster. Enjoy your new BBQ and this great weather.

Best to use these top-down or bottom-up or does it make any difference? I suppose it's just like any other kindling in that regard, but I'll ask anyway.
