Abstract: A device, method and system is provided for a quick, convenient, reliable, odorless and non-toxic alternative to using bagged charcoal briquettes. No harmful chemicals are used, ensuring a safe product that also will not diminish or alter the unique charcoal flavor of the foods being cooked over the charcoal briquettes. The tedious process of handling the briquettes is eliminated and no additional kindling for lighting is required. The container is placed onto the barbeque grate or other cooking surface and lights the outer package; the contained components provide sufficient heat and robust flames to ignite the briquettes within the package.
