• Fold & Set

    Set in the firebox, charcoal basket, or two-zone insert. Bury with lump. The pyramid holds the mound’s shape while igniting from below and within.

  • Light with One Match

    Open the vents. Light the base. Bottom-up ignition builds structure and airflow so you can dial temperature, not fight the fire.

  • Set Pyramid in Kamado Firebox

    Sits in the center of the firebox. Easy setup: load, light, and walk away.

  • Bury in Lump and Light

    Bury with lump and light base. Bottom up airflow starts the mound quickly and evenly from below and within.

  • Dial in Temperature Vents

    Improved temperature control for direct and indirect cooks. Use only the charcoal you need.

  • Kickash Basket

    Pyramid in the basket. Light the load in place. Better structure and airflow, and less charcoal and work than a chimney pour.

  • The Vortex

    Pyramid in the Vortex. Light the hot zone in place. Same structure and airflow, less charcoal than filling a chimney.

  • Use Less Charcoal

    Bury with lump. One match. Indirect side stays clean. Cook with less charcoal and hassle.

  • Open Vents and Let Airflow Work

    Evenly lit coals. Bottom-up ignition. No torch, no tumbleweed, no chemical starters.

  • Evenly Lit Coals in 15-20 Minutes

    Coals are glowing. Sear on the hot side. Finish or hold on the cool side. One match to get there.
