Napoleon’ s environmentally friendly Napoleon ignition tablets are not only effective, but also environmentally friendly and designed to provide a safe, clean and chemical-free ignition experience. This product is ideal for those who enjoy barbecues, fireplaces or campfires without compromising air quality or food flavour. Here’s an in-depth look at all the reasons why this product stands out.
Environmentally friendly
Napoleon ignition tablets are made from 100% vegetable raw materials, without the use of chemical additives, waxes or petroleum derivatives. This means that their combustion does not produce toxic emissions that can affect the environment or the health of those who use them.
Their eco-friendly design makes them a perfect choice for people committed to reducing their environmental footprint and for those who want to use more sustainable products in their daily lives. As they are made from natural components, these pellets do not leave chemical residues or polluting particles in the air, making the ignition process cleaner and more natural. In addition, the raw materials used are renewable, which encourages more responsible consumption for the planet.
Ideal for Clean Cooking
One of the main advantages of these environmentally friendly pads is that they do not produce fumes or chemical odours, unlike traditional lighters that are often impregnated with petroleum products. This is especially important for those cooking food on the barbecue, as chemical fumes can alter the natural flavour of the food or leave harmful residues.
Thanks to its clean burning, this product retains the authentic aroma and essence of the ingredients you are cooking, ensuring a much more enjoyable cooking experience. In addition, the absence of chemical odours makes them ideal for use indoors (such as fireplaces or wood-burning cookers), as they do not disturb those in the vicinity.
Long burning time
Each ignition pellet provides a burn time of 8 to 10 minutes, more than enough time to light charcoal, briquettes or wood without the need for multiple pellets. This extended burn time ensures that the fire ignites properly in a single attempt, saving time, effort and product.
For example, for a medium-sized barbecue, one or two pellets will be sufficient to light the charcoal evenly. Similarly, for fireplaces or wood-burning cookers, it will be enough to place one tablet under the logs and the fire will start to spread without the need for additional techniques. This benefit not only optimises the use of the product, but also saves you money, as you don’t need to use more units than necessary.
Extended Use
Many conventional ignition tablets tend to dry out or deteriorate once the package is opened, making them unusable over time. In contrast, Napoleon’s environmentally-friendly tablets are designed to retain their functionality even after the box has been opened. This is possible thanks to their natural composition and packaging designed to preserve the quality of the tablets, preventing them from becoming brittle or losing effectiveness.
This is especially useful for those who do not use the product frequently or prefer to store the pills for several months, as they will not have to worry about losing their investment.
Simple and Safe Handling
These tablets are incredibly easy to use, even for beginners who have no experience in lighting barbecues, fireplaces or campfires. Simply place a tablet under charcoal, briquettes or wood and light it with a match or lighter. Its design ensures a controlled and stable flame, which minimises risks and facilitates lighting in all conditions.
In addition, as they are non-toxic and non-flammable when not in use, these pellets offer an additional level of safety. For example, you won’t have to worry if children or pets are nearby, as their eco-friendly design makes them safe to have in the home.
Beyond Barbecues
Even though these pads are specifically designed for barbecues, their versatility makes them a multi-purpose product. They are also perfect for:
- Fireplaces: They easily ignite wood logs without the need for chemicals or smoky paper.
- Wood-burning cookers: Ideal for maintaining a warm, cosy atmosphere indoors, without worrying about uncomfortable smells.
- Campfires: Whether you’re camping or just enjoying an outdoor gathering, these tablets will help you light a fire quickly and safely.
- Traditional ovens: If you use a wood-fired oven, these tablets will allow you to light the fire without messing up the interior or affecting the quality of your food.
Thanks to their compact size and practical design, these tablets are easy to carry and store, making them an excellent choice for travel, whether on a trip, camping trip or a trip to the countryside.

Maintenance and Use of Napoleon Eco-Friendly Firelighters
To ensure optimal performance and maximum durability of Napoleon eco-friendly firelighters, follow these maintenance and usage recommendations:
1. Proper Storage
To keep the firelighters in perfect condition, store them in a dry, cool place away from moisture. Although these fire starters do not dry out easily, keeping them in their original packaging will help preserve them longer and prevent them from deteriorating if they come into contact with water or moisture. It is also advisable to keep them away from heat sources or direct flames until you need them.
2. Correct Use for Effective Ignition
- Step 1: Place a tablet under the charcoal, briquettes or wood in your barbecue, fireplace or stove. If you are lighting a fireplace or campfire, make sure to let enough space for air to circulate.
- Step 2: Light the tablet with a match or lighter. The flames will start quickly thanks to its natural composition.
- Step 3: Wait a few minutes until the charcoal or wood is fully lit. If you are using charcoal, it is recommended that the embers turn grey before placing the food on the grill.
Note: A single tablet is usually sufficient to light a small or medium-sized heater. For larger heaters, use two tablets, making sure to place them in different spots for better heat distribution.
3. Safety Precautions
- Keep the tablets out of the reach of children and pets, even though they are environmentally friendly and non-toxic.
- Do not light the tablets near flammable materials or in places without adequate ventilation.
- Always use tools to handle the fire, such as tongs to move the charcoal or logs, avoiding direct contact with the flames.
4. Responsible Disposal
Once the packaging is empty, recycle the box if it is made of cardboard or paper, following local recycling regulations. This small gesture contributes to the ecological purpose of the product.
Barbecued Chicken Skewers with Lemon Roasted Cabbage
If you're looking for an alternative to classic ribs, chicken skewers are an excellent option: easy to prepare, delicious and versatile. Combined with lemon roasted cabbage, you'll create a balanced dish that's full of flavour. It's perfect for outdoor gatherings or a family meal.
Ingredients for 4 people
For the chicken skewers:
- 500 g chicken breast, cut into medium-sized cubes.
- 1 red pepper, cut into large chunks.
- 1 green pepper, cut into large chunks.
- 1 red onion, cut into quarters.
- 1 courgette, cut into thick slices.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- 1 tablespoon sweet paprika.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Juice of 1 lemon.
- Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning).
For the lemon-roasted cabbage:
- 1 cabbage (you can use white cabbage, kale or red cabbage), cut into 2 cm thick slices.
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Juice of 1 lemon.
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
- 1 finely chopped garlic clove.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Sesame seeds or fresh parsley for garnish (optional).
Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the barbecue
- Light your barbecue using Napoleon eco-friendly briquettes. Let the charcoal reach the optimum cooking point: greyish embers, which will take about 20-30 minutes.
- Divide the embers into two zones: one with direct heat for searing and quick grilling, and another with indirect heat for slow cooking.
Step 2: Marinate the chicken and assemble the skewers
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and mix well so that they are coated with the marinade. Let them rest in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavours.
- Thread the chicken cubes onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of pepper, onion and courgette.
Step 3: Grill the cabbage
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Brush this mixture onto both sides of the cabbage slices with a pastry brush.
- Place the cabbage slices on the grill, over the indirect heat zone, and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through. The cabbage should be tender with slightly caramelised and crispy edges. If you want more smoky flavour, place them briefly in the direct heat zone.
Step 4: Cook the skewers
- Place the skewers in the direct heat zone of the grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning them every 2-3 minutes so that they cook evenly and acquire grill marks.
- If the chicken pieces are seared on the outside but need more time to cook on the inside, move them to the indirect heat zone and leave them for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 5: Serve and garnish
- Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
- Place the cabbage slices on a plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds or fresh parsley for an extra touch.
- Serve the skewers with the roasted cabbage and accompany with a little more lemon juice if desired.
Extra tip
- You can add other vegetables to the skewers, such as mushrooms or cherry tomatoes, to vary the flavours and textures.
- For a different touch, serve the skewers and roasted cabbage with a yoghurt and mint sauce, which goes perfectly with the smoky flavours of the grill.
