It is not very often that we have the chance to have a BBQ as the weather is so changeable. But when we do, it is a wonderful event. Unfortunately very often it means being less than green, whereas it could easily be different so you can enjoy your food in harmony with nature.
I came across an eco-friendly BBQ firepack by mike and maaike- The amount of volatile gunk emitted from BBQ could put some true Green people off enjoying this activity - here's where the designers come in. The San Francisco- based design-duo Mike and Maaike (Mike simonian and Maaike evers) recently came up with'eco-friendly' instant charcoal packaging - light the firepack at its base. The '
baja BBQ firepack' is charcoal packaging that lights instantly and burns away in the grille, making the barbeque experience simple, clean and chemical free. made from 100% recycled biodegradable paper pulp, the package contains 2 lbs of natural lump charcoal and features an integrated chimney that creates perfect hot coals in 15-20 minutes without the aid of chemicals or lighter fluid. manufactured by lazzari/ design annex - patent pending'.
