eco-friendly BBQ firepack by mike and maaike


'baja BBQ firepack' by mike and maaike

while intended to be a fun occasion, barbeques can sometimes prove to be a bit stressful for all concerned
- who's the best cook, when is the meat ready, etc. for sure it would be tough to ask a designer to tackle
these problems. another issue with BBQs though is the amount of volatile gunk emitted from them - here's
where the designers come in. the san francisco- based design-duo mike and maaike (mike simonian and
maaike evers) recently came up with'eco-friendly' instant charcoal packaging for lazzari.

'the 'baja BBQ firepack' is charcoal packaging that lights instantly and burns away in the grille, making the
barbeque experience simple, clean and chemical free.  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 in 15-20 minutes without the aid of chemicals or lighter fluid.  manufactured by lazzari/ design annex
- patent pending'.
