I highly recommend using this with the fogo starters. Now I never have a problem getting the starters to stay lit. Put 1 or 2 starters in the ball, place at the bottom of my Big Joe, light and cover with lump. It did take a while to show up, but I think it was drop shipped from the manufacturer. Worth the wait!

Was so excited to try this out. It did not disappoint, makes lighting the charcoal so easy. Often times in colder months in Ohio, the charcoal could struggle, not with this gadget. Definitely recommend!

I am not quite sure how I feel about the Blazaball. I like the concept, and it seems to do a good overall job of getting my grill lit. I am not sold that this works better than just plunking some starters in the wood and lighting them up, as I used to. The last couple of lights, the Blazaball didn't really get me going, and I had to break out the billows and ultimately use a couple more starters plunked directly in the wood.
I will probably continue to use it, because I bought it. When it dies, it will likely not be replaced.
Giving 5 stars because it is well made and does what it says it does. And I like Fogo in general.

The blaze balk works great! It keeps the airflow and space between the fire starter and the charcoal perfect for quick starting. Couldn't recommend it more!
