5No more charcoal lighter fluid!  Sep 23, 2006
By S. Donald
A great way to start charcoal, get rid of newspaper and reduce petroleum dependency. Simply use two full newspaper pages to bottom of chimney then fill with charcoal or wood. Light newspaper, go prepare your food for the grill and when you return (about 15 minutes) a nice flame reaching the top of your chimney signals the coals are ready. Especially nice in winter when lighter fluid fails to evaporate and permeates the taste of the food. You'll get instant satisfaction from this charcoal starter and will never return to lighter fluids again!

5A Must Have  Jun 18, 2008
By JakeMom
If you are going to barbecue you must have a charcoal chimney. It eliminates the need for starter (which is both unsafe and leaves a nasty aftertaste on quick-cooked foods). Starts your charcoal quickly and brings it to cooking temperature. It's easy, too. And this particular one is a great one.

4It still rusts.  Jun 03, 2010
By dizhu
The stainless is magnetic, so probably it is 18/0 stainless. It shows rust sitting outside after one rain:(

After two months use, I upgrade it to 4 stars. I now keep it indoor in the garage. Functionally it works well and the handle never gets hot even when the steel tube glows red.

4Over large  Dec 15, 2008
By G. Robinson "Extensive reader"
I was looking for a small chimney starter but this is as small as I could get. Construction is good but I have some doubts about he aluminum rivets.

Works very well though.


5Nice piece, absolute must for Charcoal  Aug 26, 2011
By D. Farmer "FPS and Racing Gamer"
First of all, I love charcoal, HATE the taste of food grilled over gas. If you are like me, you absolutely need a charcoal chimney. I put a small amount of lighter fluid on, light it up, and 15-20minutes later the charcoal is perfect for cooking. None of that light, relighting spraying with fluid for 45minutes.

That being said, my old chimney was black steel, rusted apart quickly, but I've managed to get many years of use from it because I simply could not live without it. I just upgraded to the SS unit, and it looks awesome. SS can obviously withstand more heat and elements that my old unit, and I'm hopeful it will give me many years (or decades) of good cooking. Again, it's new, but it's identical to my old unit except for material, so I have no doubt it will perform well, and the SS should make it last for a long time!
