## Description

Quickly light charcoal in 10-15 mins with this aluminum chimney starter. Large capacity, cone-shaped holder, and heat-insulated handle for safe, easy grilling prep.

Review: Very good and at a great price compared to leading brands - I've had this for just under a week now and have used it on three difference occasions. On inspection, it is very well made and compares equally to leading brands (I also own a Weber chimney starter). The design is a simple as other brands and the spacing of the air holes is similar, which leads to the internal temperature of the chimney climbing quickly - perfect for getting your coals up to temperature quickly. I've tested this on two main different type of BBQ applications in a standard kettle BBQ: 1) A long 10 hour brisket smoke, using the snake method (double layered coals surrounding 270 degrees of the rim of your kettle BBQ. Lighting this, and using the vent controls with the lid on and a thermometer, you can control the burn of the coals and wood chips to create a smoke effect over a long period of time). Why does this differ from using the BBQ in the traditional method? The Chimney Starter is only used for 5-6 coals (added to the start of the 'snake' to get it going), which reduces the total surface area in the Starter, which would normally mean the coals will be harder to get going - however, it worked fine with just newspaper at the base of the Starter; 2) A simple half and half technique (coals loads on one 1/2 of the BBQ for charring, with the other half empty for cooking meat through). In this method you load the Chimney Starter up with plenty of coals - which again, with only a couple of pieces of newspaper scrunched at the bottom, worked a treat. Summary - Excellent piece of equipment. Great saving vs leading brands. Well constructed. Will light small and large amount of coals with minimum effort.
Review: Effective and saves messing about with lighting fluid - Well made and easy to assemble tge handle with two nuts and bolts. Works like a charm. One natural firelighter underneath or some screwed up newspaper and it's away, coming up to grey ash over charcoal within 15 minutes. Save money on smelly expensive lighting fluid or parrafin firelighters. No need to fill to the brim as its quite big, just light what you need it doesn't matter how much you use. Do not use with charcoal which has impregnated lighter fluid in it though.

## Features

- Start Grilling In No Time - No need to spend all day lighting charcoal for your BBQ party. With this aluminium coal chimney starter, you can light up a full load of charcoal within 10 to 15 minutes.
- Large Charcoal Capacity - At 30.5x20cm, this charcoal chimney starter can hold enough coal for large BBQ grills measuring 47cm or more. Its cone-shaped holder makes sure that coal ignites evenly.
- Safety Comes First - The coal burner has 15cm steel handle, which is made of heat-insulated thermoplastic. A second handle gives you better control of the canister as you pour coal over your grill.
- A Breeze To Use - Fill the canister with the amount of charcoal you need. Place the charcoal starter on the grill, add and ignite your fire starters under the canister, and wait for the coal to burn!
- A Smart Investment - With this BBQ starter, you no longer have to keep buying lighter fluid to grill food. The coal burner can also help extend the lifespan of your charcoal and reduce waste.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very big!
*by M***A on 3 July 2025*

I should have checked the measurements! It’s fine, sturdy and does the job, but is much bigger than I need. I had an original Weber before, less then half the size of this and it worked absolutely perfectly. You don’t need to light enough charcoal for the entire fire just enough to start it.
