Good budget chimney starter

Good budget chimney starter
Was in need of an extra chimney starter as I misplaced my good one on a trip. This was available next day in a pinch so I gave it a shot. Good all-around construction. It's a little flimsy and I wish it was a little easier to get under to light. But I've been using it regularly for a few months now and I'd buy it again if I was in need.

Basic functionality. I'll take care of it and it will probably last for years.
I'll bet my steaks won't taste like lighter fluid or instant light charcoal anymore.

Nothing special to say about this charcoal starter. It's well-constructed, easy to use and works like a charm. I've only used it a few times, but it seems substantial enough to last for a long time. In my opinion, this is the best way to light charcoal.

This makes it is so easy to start a BBQ's load of Charcoal with just a couple of sheets of newsprint, and takes very little time to get the whole Chimney of charcoal up to temp to begin your Grilling.
I highly recommend this Chimney Charcoal Starter for your BBQ grilling needs. It's fast, efficient, and easy.

Works as expected but this model doesn't use pop rivets to hold the grate in place like other brands do. The rivets usually melt off and render the chimney useless. I expect this one to last a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and does the job well!
Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2021

Great price. Its not weber quality, but at this price point, you absolutely cannot argue against this thing. It works and it works well. Holds lots of coals and the heat shield and handle properly keep the heat away.

I used probably the poorest quality hardwood lump coals (the bag even contained rocks...) and using two fire starters the coals were ready in about 15-20 minutes with no fanning (fast with it). I was a bit skeptical due to the bottom of the chimney not appearing to have enough airflow but it proved to be enough and works fine. You just need to be gentle with storage and transporting it the metal is not the strongest..but again, it works well! Some parts are not welded or fastened but instead are slotted within the chimney. For example, the square bottom grate is slotted into the chimney walls. This means if you very severely dent the chimney or bend it out of shape, it may pop out, but I'm sure it would be easily fixable by bending it back.

The metal does get 'discoloured' after being heated but this is 100% normal and expected. There was absolutely no chemical smells coming from the chimney during first use or in the coals while cooking - so this is 'issue' people are complaining about is a non-issue! No metal will stay the same color if it hasn't been treated with heat!

Please rate my review as helpful if this has helped you! :)
