I'm a big food Network fan and my favorite guy is Alton. What I saw on one of his shows was the most awesome advice for this device. Take ONE, that's right, ONE piece of newspaper and sprinkle a few drops of vegetable oil on it; then put it under your chimney starter (outdoors, please, eggman if you're reading this) and fire it up with a full can of any kind of charcoal. You won't believe how well this works. One more thing; DO NOT set a chimney starter on a gravel driveway when you start it. For some reason, the heat transfers much easier through gravel than concrete. Just put the thing on your grill grate and wait for 20 minutes. You'll have smokin' hot coals that will be almost too hot for smokin' food. I even saw Alton searing tuna on top of one of these things.

This is the absolute best way to get your grill going. Unlike the little chimneys sold at Lowe's, this holds a lot of charcoal, enough to fill an entire kettle grill, and the airflow through it is very efficient. Two sheets of newspaper and a match, and your briquettes will be ready to go in 10-15 minutes.
The aluminized finish on this resists heat and rust quite well. Other reviewers have commented on the helper handle, but the really key feature of this chiminey starter is the conical wire grid inside that holds up the charcoal. Unlike perforated metal plate inside the no-name chimeny starters, this wire grid lets all of the flame from the newspaper through to the charcoal, resulting in the charcoal lighting in half the time.
All of that, and it isn't any more expensive that the no-name brands. Bigger, faster, and more durable. What more could you ask for?
Easy and efficient April 6, 2008

What is there to say, its very easy to use and the 2 handles make it great to safely pour the hot coals into your grill or smoker.
Perfect. May 20, 2008

I don't know how I ever got along without this. Nice evenly heated coals without dousing them in chemicals. Just use some loosely wadded newspaper lightly doused in vegetable oil underneath to get the coals going.

I do a lot of outdoor cooking (grilling, Dutch ovens, and cast iron roasters) and I've never found a chimney starter that matches this one for price, quality, and efficiency. I have two right now and I've probably given away at least four to friends who didn't know about chimney starters. This is the only one I ever consider now.
