Re: Fire starters
Back to the original question.
Yes I have used gels to start grill fires. The ones I used are alcohol based so not really different than 151.
They ere safe but considering the cost and all I moved to other methods listed here.
History lesson, before Traeger started using a "hot rod" lighter gel was THE method to start your pellet pit, I still have one but it has been updated to electric start.

Re: Fire starters
Thank you everyone. Papa Tom, very informative, tank you (best Sicilian I can do!)
Wooden, I like your suggestion, just can't bring myself to burn 151 Bacardi unless it Is going down my throat and giving me an incredible buzz! Having grown up in Puerto Rico I have a healthy respect for 151, my Dad taught me to sip the stuff as well as scotch by age 10 … yes that was over Thanksgiving while roasting three turkeys over an open pit with the homemade rotisserie. Geez, just remembered why I like an adult beverage or however many when I am grilling
Cheers everyone!!!

I have used a MAPP torch for the last several years. Even on my Weber if doing plain charcoal.

I ball up a paper towel, from the rolls with the short sheets, put a little cooking oil on it and light it up. Works great, every time.

Re: RE: Re: Fire starters
Its funny you say that because when I referenced the 151 the Everclear was right next to it.
