This is a grilling accessory that allows barbecue enthusiasts to fire up their grills quickly and efficiently.

Why do you need a Chimney Charcoal Starter?

Start your charcoal or hybrid grill the right way. And that means not using any gasoline, starter fluid, or other chemicals you might have in mind that will make your lighting your grill easier. 

Yes, it will light up your grill. But there’s a very large possibility that you’ll get burned too. Also, the noxious vapors coming from those chemicals aren’t going to make your food any tastier.

Not to mention the possibility of getting sick from the fumes. Here’s where a chimney starter becomes a griller’s best friend. 

A charcoal chimney starter is probably the easiest way to ignite the charcoal you use for your grill, it will save you huge amounts of time and frustration.

A chimney starter is a cylinder that allows you to quickly light up the closely stacked coals at a fast rate. 

An updraft is created by the rising hot air at the bottom of the chimney. This sends powerful heat waves up the cylinder. The coals have no chance but to light up.

This charcoal starter runs on newspapers. If you don’t have newsprint around (and you’ll want to avoid the full-color flyers – too many chemicals!), other paper will do, or you can use starter cubes.

You’ll have hot coals in no time, safely prepared for a minimum of expense.

Why buy our Chimney Charcoal Starter?

Spacious. This chimney has a compartment that can accommodate up to 90 briquettes, enough to fuel a 22.5 kettle grill and cook around 12 burgers with a bit of time to spare. 

Rapidfire. The vents are big enough which allows you to easily ignite the newspaper within using matches. And, the cone bottom provides better draw through the chimney which causes more briquettes to light at the same time.

Faster overall burn time. Lights up all types of charcoal in about 20 - 25 minutes 

Safe to use. The stay-cool thermoplastic handle is a great safety measure along with the heat shield which adds an extra layer of protection for your hand. 

Easy to use. The secondary handle allows for great control as you pour the lit charcoal into your cooker.

Durable. The chimney starter is made of aluminum and steel which resists rust and oxidation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What if I need more charcoal than the chimney can make? 

A: Dump out only a portion of the lit coals and then add fresh briquettes to the already glowing charcoal. This should get the fresh ones burning even faster than the first batch. You’ll be topped up in no time!

Q: Can You Cook Over Your Chimney Starter?

A: Yes, this is possible, all you need is a grate that fits the opening of the chimney, or you can use skewers to suspend the meat over the flame. BUT, the heat is intense at the top of the chimney and you do run a high risk of starting a grease fire. 

How To Use:

1. Take out the cooking grate from your grill.  
2. Fill your Chimney Starter all the way to the top with charcoal (you can use less if you aren’t cooking as much food). 
3. Set the newspaper or lighter cubes on the charcoal grate and light them.
4. Set the Chimney Starter directly on top of the newspaper or lighter cubes, on the charcoal grate.
5. The fire from the newspaper/cubes will begin burning the charcoal and the flames will grow upwards from there.
6. Depending on weather conditions, in about 20 to 25 minutes the coals should be sufficiently lit to pour into the grill. You’ll know the coals are ready when the ones on top have started to turn a bit gray with ash.
7. Once coals are ready, pour the coals onto the charcoal grate and arrange them to your liking.
8. Set cooking grate back into place, put the lid on, and once the grill has heated up sufficiently you’ll be all set to cook.
9. Start grilling!

💡 Tips

1. Keep them away from children and flammable material like patio furniture, piles of leaves, wooden decks, pets, etc.
2. Light it up the chimney as close to the cooker as possible, if possible, in the cooker itself.
3. Once you’ve poured out the charcoal, the chimney will still be hot so be sure to set it down somewhere safe and wait for it to cool down before cleaning and storing.
