GRATE CHEF® FIRE STARTER
Eliminates Lighter Fluid Flavor in Food

ATLANTA – Grate Chef® is taking note of taste buds with an innovative grilling accessory that is sure to light any grill master’s fire: the Grate Chef® Fire Starter.
The Grate Chef® Fire Starter is a new, non-toxic way to light charcoal that involves packets that heat to 1500 degrees in approximately 10 minutes. Unlike most grill or campfire lighting methods that can alter the taste of your food, such as the use of lighter fluid, or burning newspaper, which is harmful to the environment, Grate Chef’s Fire Starters provide an environmentally safe alternative that is both odorless and tasteless.
“Our Fire Starters can be used in charcoal grills, fireplaces and campfires, and ignite even when the fuel material is wet,” said Mike Griffin, co-founder of Grate Chef, LLC. “The benefits are twofold; these convenient packets prevent harmful vapors from entering the environment and also preserve the natural flavor of foods on the grill,” he adds.
There are just two easy steps to using the Fire Starter:

1. Place one or two packets in the fuel (log, charcoal, etc.).
2. Light the sealed packets, which will burn without giving off any harmful fumes or odors. (Note: the Fire Starters should be completely burned out before any food is cooked)

The Fire Starter retails for $2.99 (MSRP) for a pack of six and is available for purchase in grocery, hardware and specialty stores nationwide and online at www.gratechef.com.
