Fired Up can be used to start another type of fuel like wood or charcoal or it can be used on its own. Since the cost of using Fired Up exclusively to cook or bake is more than using charcoal or wood, I suggest using it to get the charcoal or wood started rather than to cook/bake the whole meal. The plus side of Fired Up over charcoal or wood is it can be stored indoors safely, it won't spontaneously ignite or explode. If it catches fire, it will simply burn with no blowing up. Also, it will still burn even if it is windy outside.
To use Fired Up as a starter for wood or charcoal: Place 1/2 to 1 cup of Fired Up on aluminum foil if using a charcoal chimney or can put directly onto volcano grill or charcoal grill bottom if want. Light the Fired Up. Place charcoal chimney with charcoal to light or wood to light over Fired Up & aluminum foil. To get the best use of the Fired Up, occasionally stir it. The 2 pictures below show the fired up being place directly into a volcano grill and onto aluminum foil with a charcoal chimney put over it. Both methods of getting the charcoal going worked, but the charcoal chimney worked better in my opinion.
To use Fired Up exclusively without wood or charcoal: Place 1+ cups of Fired Up in volcano grill/can stove/Firebox Stove, etc. The smaller grills/stove will likely use less Fired Up since you won't be heating as much space. Light and occasionally stir to keep it going and get maximum use out of it. Expect to use 1 cup of Fired Up for every 20-30 minutes of cooking you need.
In my own trials, even on a windy day, 1 cup of Fired Up burns for about 20-30 minutes. It doesn't light if it is water logged. I found it easier to get the charcoal going in a charcoal chimney rather than directly in the volcano grill/grill, even with using the Fired Up.
