Yes you need the fire lighters and if they have it you could get the chiminy starter I personally do not use one but I know from forums that a lot of of people swear by a chimney starter
- just make s it easier to get them going but I do not have a problem with getting them started
 
Settled on this. Might try and see if I can get that charcoal from morrisons

Do not be tempted to get the little 5kg bags from asda ect as the lump wood is "shrapnel" the restaurant grade is great stuff but I have had mixed results from the Band Q big blue bag but on the whole much better than the stuff in asda
 
Too late not but another one of my recommendations would be to NOT buy instant light charcoal - nasty stuff, imagine it with a coating of a starter liquid - fumes
 
Wait a min after all that - you do realise that you have brought a GAS BBQ that does not need charcoal and needs a gas bottle
 
i have purchased direct

seem to be OK
 
Thanks
Can't find any charcoal anywhere apart from the quick type. Not even b and q..
 
Second best stuff is the Big K again but its in a smaller red bag and can sometimes be had from The Range.
Next step is to try homebargins if you are getting desperate. its forcast nice weather tomorrow in most places (y)
