Product number: 770009250330 View all If You Care > View more: BBQ > Firelighters made from 100% biomass - wood and vegetable oil The weather is beautiful, we can end the day with a cozy barbecue again! Normally, the environment is not too happy with barbecues. Traditional firelighters are made from fossil fuels and release CO2 when burned. That's why IF YOU CARE has launched these firelighters. The firelighters are made from 100% FSC-certified wood. Unlike traditional firelighters, no kerosene, paraffin, or other petroleum products are used; instead, 100% vegetable oil is used. Because the blocks are made from plant-based products, the emissions are considered CO2-neutral. That makes barbecuing a lot greener. Don't forget to put some vegetables on the barbecue to limit the amount of meat? The firelighters are suitable for open fires, barbecues, wood stoves, and campfires. The blocks are extremely stable, with a long shelf life, and do not dry out if the packaging is open. The firelighters are also not greasy, have no unpleasant odors, and are not explosive or toxic. You can store them in the pantry among your food; no unpleasant odors will be transferred. Specifications: 28 blocks Approximately 3-4 blocks needed per barbecue session Made from FSC-certified wood and vegetable oil CO2-neutral summer enjoyment If You Care 100% Biomass Firelighters come in 2 sizes - 72ct bag and 28ct tablet. HOW TO USE If You Care firelighters are quick and easy to use, just follow these simple steps: Open the bag or pack. Place 3-4 If You Care Firelighters under wood or on charcoal.

Burning some firelighters can release formaldehyde, a substance classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and as a probable human carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If You Care 100% Biomass Firelighters are 100% sourced from renewable resources and are non-toxic. Carbon-neutral emissions Because If You Care firelighters are made from 100% biomass - wood and vegetable oil - the emissions from their combustion are considered carbon-neutral. This is because the CO2 released during biomass combustion is offset by the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere due to new biomass growth. This is consistent with guidelines from the EPA and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The same cannot be said for firelighters that use petroleum products, such as kerosene, paraffin, or slack wax.
