The Home Depot [homedepot.com] has 6-Oz Grill Time Charcoal Fire Starter Gel on sale for $3.09. Shipping is free.

Also seeProduct Description from The Home Depot
  • The Grill Time Fire Starter Gel is a 100 percent vegetable based Ethanol. There are no chemical or petroleum additives. Our gel is non-combustible. It does not give off any chemical smells or flavors. The gel is used to start the Time-to-Grill Natural Charcoal. A small circular bead is placed on the starter plate (or gel plate) beneath the charcoal container, it is then lit with a lighter then charcoal canister is placed on top of the lit gel plate. The gel will burn for about 4-minutes to 5-minutes, just long enough for the charcoal to ignite. No lighter fluid taste or smell is added to your barbecue. The vegetable ethanol burns very clean. The starter gel is very versatile, it can also be used at your campsite as a fire starter - no more dangerous newspaper embers floating around your campsite.

Great deal! I ordered 5 (10 is the max). They also have greatly reduced prices for grilling chips and charcoal, which popped up as soon as I put these in my basket.

Fun fact. Balled up newspaper under a charcoal chimney will start charcoal just fine. This is such a gimmick of a product.

Anyone have experience with this? I wonder if this works any better than hand sanitizer which is also Ethanol. Or if it is any different at all.

You don't wanna use colored paper to start a charcoal grill, and most people don't have newspapers anymore.

I tried to save cardboard packing paper for fire starter but it was annoying to do so I just bought a box of the firestarter cubes and they're like $1 each. I use my egg cooker twice a month so it's not breaking the bank.

Why would one not want to use coloured paper for fire starter?

I use the brown paper from all of my Amazon packages that Slickdeals makes me buy. This paper works great.
