KINGSFORD Heavy Duty Deluxe Charcoal Chimney Starter | BBQ Chimney Starter for Charcoal Grill and Barbecues, Compact Easy to Use Chimney Starters and BBQ Grill Tools, Silver

Works great. Actually, one day, I had started it and was going for 10 seconds or less, and something came up. So, I took it off the starter and set it on concrete to stop the process. But it worked so well that it kept going and I came back to just ash in and under the it. It's a little taller than I'd hoped but it came completely assembled. It is easy to use and there's minimal smoke. It's a great and efficient design.

I used a couple of pieces of newspaper in the bottom - lit it with one of those propane lighters - same as we use for starting the fireplace. The draft from the bottom air holes up through the chimney was strong and concentrated, and the coals reached BBQ ready status very quickly. I am pleased with this order.

Leave the starter fluid smell! I gave this as a gift to because my friend didn't know anything about this. I've had one for years. They work so well. Just newspaper at the bottom and charcoals over it. So easy to use. A must have.

It's a good chimney, I usually leave mine outside and this last about a whole year from me. I've had 3 now and no issues.

Great value and works perfect. I like it better than other brands.Ease of use:Easy to use with my Webber Grill

I've only used it once so far, but it worked well. the newspaper lit quickly and stayed lit (i know someone with a different brand who usually has to repeatedly light their newspaper before the charcoals catch). despite not having the second hinged handle like some of the nicer ones, i didn't have any trouble directing the hot charcoals to a specific area of the grill. i have grill gloves so i don't know how well the heat barrier works, but it's obviously better than nothing. i recommend it.

I actually bought this as a gift as I have been using mine for years. I have given these to multiple friends; in case they invited me over for a cookout. This device is as simple to use as it is effective. Order one now and before long you’ll be buying them for your friends as well!

This is the best one we have gotten, it has held up to daily use in the spring, summer and fall. the handle does not get hot so it is easy (and safe) to dump the red hot charcoal. Very easy to use and does not take up a lot of space
