LotusGrill UPG-SG-16 Starter Gel, Gel, 7 to 8 min Burn Time, 200 mL Bottle

The LotusGrill starter gel is a 100% sugarcane based ethanol. There are no chemical or petroleum additives, just sugarcane. Our gel is non-combustible. It does not give off any chemical smells or flavors. The gel is used to start the LotusGrill charcoal. A small bead is placed on the starter plate (or gel plate) beneath the charcoal container, it is then lit with a lighter then charcoal canister is placed on top of the lit gel plate. The gel will burn for about 7 to 8 mins, just long enough for the charcoal to ignite. No lighter fluid taste or smell is added to your cooking - think of chafing dish fuel without the black smoke plume which are the chemicals and additives burning off. The sugarcane ethanol burns very clean. The starter gel is very versatile, it can also be used at your campsite as a fire starter no more dangerous newspaper embers floating around your campsite.
