Really good charcoal chimney
Would RecommendThis is a really good chiney starter. It used to be my favorite but the Oklahoma Joe's one is my new favorite because it holds more charcoal and ashes quicker.

It works as advertised
Would RecommendThis is my second chimney starter. Sometimes I use this in tandem with the other one depending on what I'm cooking. They work great. The holes in the side make it easy for the fire to breathe and feed on oxygen. Overall, great product.

Professional Meat Lover Says So
Would RecommendYou may wonder why pay extra for this one? Well, the size the really handy and feels lighter when handling than the smaller one.

Works well but not big enough
Would RecommendI was surprised that it didn't hold more charcoal. I have a Weber barbecue and it is barely enough to cover the bottom of my barbecue and at times was unable to get to a high enough temperature to cook my meat.

Worth its
Would RecommendThis charcoal chimney is a must-have for anyone who grills with charcoal. No lighter fluid, no hassle—just load it up, light a couple of cubes or newspaper underneath, and within minutes the coals are blazing hot and ready to cook. It saves time, gets the charcoal evenly lit, and makes grilling so much easier. The sturdy build and heat-resistant handle make it safe and reliable to use. Once you try it, you’ll never go back to lighter fluid again!
