Didn't use, bought as a gift. But I twisted it in my hands :) As for me, it’s quite a convenient and thoughtful thing. Made in good conscience, nothing dangles. Places below for ignition unexpectedly a lot. What you need if you have a house or apartment with a terrace👍 Has pros: At first glance, a reliable and thoughtful design. Ease of use. Large capacity for coal. Cons: Maybe only the size . it's not very convenient to store at home. But this thing is not for the house either) a garage, a…

The only thing, when you need to throw coal into the grill, the starter is too big. But then either buy a portable one, or turn on your ingenuity. I rolled up a cylinder from a metal mesh, wrapped it in foil, made holes in it for air supply and put it on the bottom of the starter.

I wanted to give this a good year of use before considering it. I bought a Weber Performer charcoal grill last summer and received a few key accessories including this chimney starter.

One paper was not enough as a full run required a second fill of paper. A few dice weren't enough either. The cubes and paper almost always worked, although it still didn't fully start when I filled it all…

Summary: There is no better way to light charcoal for your grilling needs. When it's done Pros: + Ease of use + Bulletproof + Price + Simplicity There was a time in my life when starting a barbecue fire required copious amounts of lighter fluid applied repeatedly over 15 minutes. Despite the warnings on the tin, I always applied it to a burning pile of coal because it was fun and I found it somehow useful. Those days are over. The charcoal fireplace works as follows: 1.
