An Adventure Into Culinary Creation With the Electro-Light Fire Starter

6/3/2017

If there is one thing I have missed about being on the road, it's not having constant access to a grill. I used to LOVE grilling outdoors. There is something so relaxing about putting on some music, lighting up the grill, and having a couple beers with friends and enjoying the great outdoors. While Vanessa and I still utilize cooking outside whenever we can, especially in campsites with grills built in-ground, we haven't done much grilling in Austin since being here...

​Until now...

It all started on Memorial Day, when we wanted to step outside the culinary box and fulfill our holiday obligations of BBQing by grilling up some goods. The only problem was that where we are staying there isn't a grill. So, we hit up the local Whole Foods and found...

Coshell COSDG13 Disposable Grill

A disposable eco-grill that burns coshell coconut charcoal. Not only was this disposable grill less than $4, BUT it was also eco-friendly with less carbon emissions, so easy to light, and burned continuously for two+ hours. This little thing was darn glorious and we couldn't have been happier. But what made this disposable grill even cooler was the fact that we had the easiest way to keep this puppy burning and red hot. Another trick of the trade...

HomeRight C900046 ElectroLight Fire Starter
The HomeRight ElectroLight Fire Starter is hands-down one of the coolest travel gadgets we've ever used in the great outdoors.  By just plugging this baby into our small RV Maude, we were able to produce 1300 degree F air to keep our charcoals red hot throughout the entire cooking process. This is how easy it was...

Let me just say, the Electro-Light Fire Starter was so darn cool, we decided to adventure further into culinary creation. Now, this isn't to negate the ACTUAL point of this fire starter which is obviously to light fires. Vanessa and I have had many a'difficulty lighting campfires and charcoal grills, continuously burning through paper, matches and the like, just trying to get a flame. (It's worth noting that neither of us were Girl Scouts for too long and if there was a fire starter badge, then we clearly didn't earn it). But, with the ElectroLight, there is no waste. There is no frustration. The fire starter burns and it lights things up quick. Just make sure you're extra careful with how hot it gets!

So, we decided to keep going with our ElectroLight and used it to char more eggplant as well as char a plate of campfire vegan nachos....

All in all, our tiny eco-friendly grill worked wonders and we can certain vouch it as a success. We roasted two whole eggplants to peel and make into a cold aubergine salad, plus a few SmartLink veggie dogs and a red onion. The ElectroLight is one of our new RV must-have items and we can't wait to make lighting fires a snap once we get back on the road.
