Does exactly what it is supposed to do August 31, 2010
Jeffrey A. Meyer (Brooklyn, NY)
Great chimney. Works every time, gets the coals going evenly. Very durable and clearly will last as long as our Weber grill. Great accessory for anyone who wants to avoid the taste of lighter fluid or Matchlight charcoal -- I didn't realize how much I could actually taste the accelerant until it was gone!
Very useful August 29, 2010
Jarred Beck (The Country, GA)
Saw this and thought why not? I was tired of struggling with lighter fluid anyway. I've used it once and it works as advertised. The coals get hot very fast though and won't last that long. No real complaints, my only concern is how long it'll last.
How did I live without it? August 27, 2010

This Chimney Starter is really fantastic. I don't know why I waited so long to get one, and this particular one is the perfect size & quality. I imagine it will last a long time, but if it ever does wear out, I'm sure I'll buy another one immediately.
Great replacement August 26, 2010
Vivek Gupta
This is a great replacement for a charcoal chimney I got almost 10 years ago, that finally fell apart (due to leaving it outside year round). This one definitely feels sturdier and the hinged metal handle is very useful when trying to slowly pour out charcoal for indirect cooking. I certainly hope this one lasts as long as the last (it certainly seems like it will), though I will try to help it by remembering to store it away after use.
If you grill with charcoal there are several reasons to get this... August 25, 2010
Robert S. Tobias (Arlington, VA USA)
First the obvious... this thing is magical in how it gets coals to light. The description and majority of other comments are dead on; two pieces of newspaper in the bottom, coals in the top, set it down on your grill grate, light the paper (one match), and in 10 to 15 minutes the coals are blazing red hot!
Implied is that you don't have to bother with charcoal lighter fluid or self-lighting coals. That stuff smells bad and can't do anything to make barbecuing any healthier. Similarly, having a flammable liquid near your grill can't make things safer. :)
One additional benefit (not that you need more reasons to get one of these) is that it allows you to use a consistent amount of coals each time. That means consistent heat and consistent results. Sure, you can "eyeball it" but with this you don't have to bother.
I just wish I had got this sooner. The saving in lighter fluid alone would have paid for the chimney and I could have avoided the petroleum smell.
