I’ve been using firelighters for the last 20 years, firstly for lighting my charcoal BBQs, although I’ve since upgraded to a Char-broil gas BBQ, which is fantastic. I still use firelighters in my fire pit and chiminea when we can get some good weather, which is not too often living in the UK but getting a decent pop up gazebo helped with this.

First, I wanted to talk about my experience with petrol pressure washers over the last 20 years. We use them regularly at my family’s garden centre. It is incredible what you can clean with them and the results you get.
