This lighter gel is an ethanol based fluid, which can be used to start both your BBQ’s and grills, but which has been specifically designed for your LotusGrill. Simply pour the Ethanol Gel around the centre of the ignition/bottom tray of your LotusGrill, being careful not to spill any through the centre. After the fan has been switched on, ignite the lighter gel with a match or lighter before placing the charcoal container on top. Be careful after you have ignited the gel and be aware that this gel has no odour and burns so cleanly, without smoke, that the flame is barely visible.
