I have seen quite a few mentions of the Mike and Maaike Baja BBQ Firepack (NotCot, Core77, MoCo Loco, Josh Spear, et al) and I am really interested in seeing one in action. According to the Mike and Maaike site, the firepack is:

“made from 100% recycled biodegradable paper pulp, the package contains 2 lbs of natural lump charcoal and features an integrated chimney that creates perfect hot coals without the aid of chemicals or lighter fluid.”

That sounds fantastic. But I have yet to find a price or details on where to buy it, beyond “gourmet supermarkets.” However, I have found a few links about eco-friendly outdoor cooking that might be useful as I wait for the Baja BBQ Firepack:

• Buy eco-friendly charcoal
• Get Your Grill On at Sierra Club
• Use a Bucket Grill to conserve space and energy
• Use solar power! Make your own solar oven or buy one from Sun Oven
