Disadvantages of Using Petroleum Based Firelighters
If the fire has not been burned for a long enough time then possible transfer of toxins to food
Handling can transfer toxins to hands (leaves nasty smell on fingers which requires hands to be properly cleaned to avoid transfer to food and or your loved ones)
Although Petroleum products will give the instant gratification of the instant flare up most products will burn out too quickly to effectively light the wood.
If the bag/container is not properly sealed after opening then evaporation renders the product ineffective
Most times it will require several blocks of the product to ignite the fire
Most petroleum based products produce vast amounts of “black smoke” which is poisonous
The petroleum products currently available to the public has unfortunately become an everyday household name and product. Education is necessary to change this outlook.
