Was fr eine geniale Idee. Fr Singles oder auch zu zweit. So kann man mal fix was Grillen ohne stndig den Groen” anzuwerfen.
Oder beim Camping. Man hat ja nicht immer so viel Platz. 3 – 4 Bratwrste oder 2 Steaks finden prima Platz. Obwohl ich schon ein Steak hatte, wo nur 1 drauf passte
Starting a BBQ is so much easier with this. Wish I had got one YEARS ago!
Someone mentioned in another review, this is a product that you didn’t know you needed, until you try one!!! Everyone is impressed by how quick and even the coals go, once lit in this chimney. It’s brilliant!!! It takes 20 mins and every coal is grey and ready to cook. I use brickettes because they stay hot longer.
Ich kme nicht auf die Idee die Konstruktion als Grill zu verwenden – hauptschlich ause Grund, dass die Kohle so schnell durchzieht, dass sie ohnehin viel zu schnell verglhen wrde. Zum Vorglhen der Kohle funktioniert er einwandfrei und zusammengeklappt passt er perfekt in den Weber to go. Ich wrde mir den Kamin sofort wieder kaufen, aber hoffe er hlt jetzt noch eine Weile.
Ottima capienza e fatto davvero bene.
Praticissimo da chiudere e trasportare.
El aparato es genial y cabe mucho ms carbn que en los normales. Pero el asa de plstico se me fundi en la primera vez. Le puse un par de listones de madera a modo de asa con bastante facilidad. Tambin le puse un par de chapas entre el aparato y el asa para que le aislara ms del calor. Ha quedad muy bien.
El asa se pliega con un muelle y tiene un tope para quedar perpendicular cuando se despliega. Este tope tambin se deform con el calor. Lo enderec pero creo que lo mejor va a ser ponerle un tornillo de tope
Fonctionne parfaitement. Se la braise en 10 minutes verser dans le bbq aprs.
Perit bmol : aprs une utilisation quotidienne pendant 2 semaines, les tles sont un peu dformes mais j’ai pu replier la chemine. La grille mdiane sur laquelle repose le charbon lors de l’allumage est par contre bien dforme.
Good sturdy build, has good capacity. I used to have to light 2 starters previously. With this starter, only need 1 chimney to get going. If i need another one, i will buy this one agai
Best thing since sliced bread! I would never be without this beauty now!
Feels sturdy and holds plenty of coals (on both sides if you need to only light a few and use it upside down). 1 pleased customer! Plus a load of free gifts were in the box including a couple of bbq grill mats and a knife sharpener. Thanks muchly.
De momento solo tiene 1 uso y va perfecto. Muy fcil encender el carbn sin tener que abanicar!
Se queda bien plegado y recogido.
Si con el uso no se plagase bien o se deformase modificara esta resea.
Felices barbacoas!!!
This is really good, easy to use, would buy again. Got this idea from my son, who has got one from Amazon, and told me how good they are, he was so right. Well pleased.
I have seen these used on youtube but was always a little skeptical, especially at the cost, what if it didn’t work?
Well……….this works great!!!!
I use a small fire lighter under it and 10~15 minutes later the coals are blazing hot and ready to pour on the BBQ.
100% recommend this produc
Works like a charm. Does exactly as intended. Good large size.
Well made, sturdy, easy to light. My only issue is there aren’t enough coals to fill the average size BBQ in my humble opinion. I’ll probably end up ripping them out much earlier and then throwing some other coals on top… The product itself cannot be faulted, very well made and well packaged too
I’m so happy that I found product like this to buy, very easy to make a fire now. I recommend everyone to have this!
Was going to buy the Weber chimney starter but found this design better suited my needs. This has large holes at the bottom to allow lighting of fire starter cubes.
Seems well made and does a good job.
The only slight negative is that the conical rings inside the fire starter allow small pieces of lit charcoal to full through (only a problem if fire starter is used outside of the BBQ). But this seems common with even the Weber one.
So a good alternative and usually cheaper.
Had a lot of cooking to do on a small barbie so used this to heat up a second batch of coals to add late
Without a chimney, it is terribly hard to start a fire with cricket coals. This chimney is sturdy, easy to use and cheaper than the competitor brands. Good Value for money.
Un p incredulo sulla funzionalit e robustezza al momento dell’acquisto, mi sono dovuto ricredere; al momento sono a quota 4 accensioni (con carbone all’orlo) e il tutto “regge” benissimo.
Il carbone si accende uniformemente in circa 15min, e nonostante il bel colore rosso interno per l’alta temperatura, l’accendifuoco si ripiega ancora bene e la griglia interna non si imbarcata. 4 stelle solamente per il manico che ATTENZIONE!!…. scotta parecchio, per il resto un rapporto prezzo/qualit direi favoloso, e soprattutto la quantit di carbone che possiamo accendere, pieno carico si arriva a 2 kg buoni di carbone….fatta con carbonella adeguata una bella brace direi…..
Comodissimo infine la griglia “alta” per la piccola brace da 1 persona, si mette qualche mattoncino di carbone e la bistecchina servita.
Got this for our campervan as it folds away and takes up barely any room. Gets enough coals ready to tip onto our small bbq in 20 mins. Easy to assemble and pack away.
Very easy to use. Worked very well. Saved a lot of hassle. Very quick to heat the charcoal
Clean and chemical free way to start off the BBQ…
East to use but be careful of where you put if after using as it’s hot as Satan’s armpits…
So I bought one of these after a friend recommended one – he has the more expensive well known brand one, but this one is pretty much the exact same thing – looks the same and does the same job. It’s pretty big too so can hold enough briquettes to fill our BBQ.
Just fill it up with charcoal, place on an old slab or bricks, put some kind of flame below it (I use a combination of paper and some small thin wood offcuts I have) and leave for 20 mins or so. Results in white charcoal ready to cook on.
I’ve heard from my friend lumpwood doesn’t do too well in these chimney starters but have only used briquettes so far. It also seems to work much better when using a more consistent burning flame to start the charcoal off, such as small wood, twigs or a fire starter.
Great investment for the summer, I’ve used at least 10 times in the last few months and have found I’ve been wanting to BBQ more often as I don’t have the dreaded task of lighting the big BBQ.
Worth the money easy to use sturdy only used it once had no problems.
Great for starting the BBQ and being able to fold flat made it space saving also!! ..I like the fact that it has it’s own little griddle technically you could use this as a mini stand alone BBQ.
good chimney works good and i am very happy with it thank you
so i have a huge flat BBQ and it tends to be a struggle when trying to light a large amount of coals. so i got this….. well lets just say ive had about 3-4 BBQs in the past week because its so easy to use. great product and easy to use.
Brilliant bit of kit, and super compact for camping trips.
Only used this once. But amazing results. I got the large and it’s big enough to do a BBQ for 5-7 without adding more charcoal. I love it. Great price and great bit of kit. Using 4 squares of fire lighter. Got the whole thing going.
I love bbq’s but can never get them to light properly. This makes it so much easier!!!!!! Best thing I’ve bought!!!!!!
Was a gift and my son in law loves it.
Strong and easy to use.
Best way to light a BBQ. Fill 3/4 way up add a lighter at the bottom and ready to cook in 15 mi
Does a great job in cutting down on coal’s heating up time , ready to cook much quicker and very easy to use. Very pleased with i
Bought as a gift for my brother
He said it’s grea
I have wanted once of these for some time, and it makes lighting a BBQ a pleasure and entirely predictable. Stuff the bottom with a load of scrunched up newspaper, turn it over and fill with charcoal. Light the paper through the small holes in the bottom. Twenty minutes later it is ready and very hot. Carefully pour out the coals and the BBQ is ready for cooking. No smelly firelighters or fuel needed.
Excellent product. Has made bbqing so much easier. Really pleased with it.
Super easy to use. Had no trouble in getting the coal hot. However the thicked chunks did not light up properly. Maybe I did not leave them enough time. Suffice to say 14 minutes and the BBQ was ready.
Excellent product. Twenty minutes to have coals glowing and ready to cook.
Comfortable and safe handles.
The GFTIME Chimney Starter has transformed our barbecue experience. Our results are now consistently great instead of iffy. In fact, my husband now enjoys barbecues so much, he suggests them. This would never have happened before our chimney starter came into our lives.
If you like to stand around for an unnecessary amount of time, worry about whether the coals are hot enough, and constantly blow air into your fire, then this product isn’t for you. Best thing I’ve bought in a long time. You literally just pile in coals, light a fire underneath and just leave it for 15 or so minutes and bam.. Hot coals
BBQ has lit with ease every time I use the chimney starter – a very useful piece of ki
Within 20 minutes we were able to cook on it and amazingly the food didn’t burn, it seemed to cook evenly.
We were so pleased with it and have had several BBQs since, well, why not, it’s so easy now! I truly wish I’d bought one of these earlier, as it may have prevented the previous BBQ being thrown across the garden in frustration!
Now my other half can be heard shouting “Man make fire!”
The absolute business. Could never get the charcoal evenly warm on our bbq. This makes it hot as hot and lovely and even heat across the bbq. Highly recommended.
Makes the bbq experience better by getting you going quicker and effectively.
Works a treat & much cheaper than branded equivalent. No complaints.
Haven’t had a charcoal barbecue in years, mainly because of the effort to get it going!!!! Discovered these chimney things online – was a little sceptical, but thought I’d try it. It’s totally brilliant and foolproof! 15 mins and your good to go. Used with lump wood charcoal. Totally recommend.
By putting a handle and part-floor on a can, you have a product for which people will pay a premium! This product worked perfectly, so my BBQ required a single match instead of a dozen. It took about 25 minutes to arrive at the white charcoal stage. Basically, light and forget. If only I’d bought one earlier …
No doubting the sturdiness of the product, though competition should bring the price significantly lower over time.
I’ve never owned one of these before, but it is really good for putting stuff in and setting fire to it.
Can be used to light Barbecues or other things that have burnable stuff in them, can be used to burn the souls of your enemies if you are that way inclined.
No enemies souls were burned in the writing of this review.
This starter is great. In the past, we have used smaller chimneys but going for a slightly larger one has changed how we BBQ. Air holes going up the side of the chimney help airflow and we find that the charcoal evenly heats up throughout. The key thing we have been most impressed with is the speed. We feel the coal heat faster and require less effort to get going in the first place.
All in all excellent product.
Good value for money cheaper that the weber, and it’s the right size for a medium bbq, the down side is the handle is in plastic so it doesn’t resist high temperatures so don’t close the lid of the bbq when heating the charcoal and the grill.
Superb piece of kit..
Light from the sides at the bottom !
Feeling hot hot hot.. .. and wear heat resistant gloves !
I bought this based upon reviews. It’s huge — but then ‘what holds a lot holds a little’. It’s very sturdy and great for my new Weber BBQ. Love it — highly recommended.
Works every time. I didn’t believe the hype but watched a few YouTube videos and decided to get one. So simple but very effective, takes about 20 minutes and a full bucket is ready to go. Love this product.
Only used once but very impressed. Heated coals quickly and to a fierce temperature. Large enough too.
This does exactly what it is designed for.
It is sturdy and appears to be well made.
Word of warning though, the handle will get HOT.
Easy to use, does the job well.
Placed it on the bbq, filled it with charcoal and lit cardboard underneath, 20 mins later poured the red hot charcoal onto the bbq, easy.
Brilliant piece of kit. We have an enormous charcoal bbq which is a nightmare to light. Always took more than an hour of fussing, and often more. This removes the faffing and the guesswork. Paper on the bottom, coals in the top, tip it over when the orange flames appear at the top.
Don’t over do the paper and they work really well
This is a great piece of kit & safer to use than others I’ve had. I did find it a bit harder to light but that could’ve just been the briquettes I used
Works as well as my old Weber chimney. Very sturdy feel and heavier.
Way cheaper than the Weber version but works as well. These are a must have for anyone with a charcoal bbq
It’s a metal holder for preheating coal, if it didn’t work I would have had some serious issues.
Gives a quick and even burn of charcoal for bbq.
This is a well made piece of BBQ kit. It makes life so much easier. and no “petrol” smell. Love it. Ive had a few of these over the years and this is by far the best.
Wow!! Has made a huge difference to our family bar-b-ques !! Very easy to use and takes all the hassle out of lighting the coals. Was sceptical beforehand but am converted!!
Very good value quality seems good. Handle is shielded from the heat. Extra tipping handle to tip charcoal is very useful.
Well made and suitable for medium to large BBQs. Produces too much white coals for the smoker I have, but little choice available for smaller chimney starters.
Well made though and should provide many years service, but need to remember don’t fill to the maximum capacity
I will never not use this again. Coals were ready so much quicker, all evenly white-hot and the bbq was a raging success.
It’s a large chimney starter so it holds enough to fill two charcoal baskets. Previously I had a Webber version and it works just as well for a much cheaper price.
Well made, wire handle balances the unit well, lets see how long it lasts. 10 ignitions so far.
Easy to use and does a great job on my Weber BBQ
The chimney starter was very easy to use got my charcoal sarted in 20 mins used a lighter cube hopefully should last a long time
Good value and feels very substantial and sturdy. Used 4 times already and very effective, briquetes are red hot within 25-30 mins. The real question will be the longevity of the chimney being exposed to so much heat over time, but that remains to be seen.
I found this completely by accident while browsing Amazon for new BBQ accessories. I didn’t know what it was, how it worked, or what it did and to be honest it took me 10 minutes and a YouTube video to figure it out. I’m not an idiot, I’d just never conceived that such a thing existed (or maybe I am an idiot?)
For those in the same boat I was: You turn it upside down, stuff the bottom with old newspaper, turn it back upright, fill it with charcoal, set the newspaper on fire, leave it 20 minutes, pour it into the barbecue and… HEY PRESTO… one easy and evenly burning BBQ ready for cooking.
It’s simple and genius.
I did a bit of research before buying this one. I know that the original (and apparently best) version is made by Weber. If we had more that 3 days sunshine a year and I didn’t use a Gas BBQ most of the time, I might have stumped up the extra cash from the Weber. However, I chose this one because it had good reviews and was reasonably cheap in comparison – i have no regrets, it’s been used 4 times and still in great condition.
The greatest things for BBQ’s since fire itself? Maybe…
Great value & very easy to use, but it tastes terrible & is very tough
Perfect and nearly 10 cheaper than the Weber one, functions exactly the same.
Fill it with charcoal briquettes and stand it over a firelighter and a match starts it off. Each single session it works so well. What else could you want?
Does exactly what it’s intended too and came next day so very happy.
Brillant for charcoal bbq’s… Easy to use and makes a real difference
Started my barby in 10 mins… not sure how some people say 20-30 mins this thing is a must!!
Tested this for the first time yesterday and it worked great. I used newspaper as a bit of an accelerant but in future I will use a couple firefighter blocks instead! When I poured the coles into the bbq the heat was excellent and ready to use for cooking!
I have found this a great tool to start a charcoal BBQ. I was using an electric looflighter (very good) but with this it is even easier load the chimney pop a BBQ lighter under it and wait 10 mins. The chimney holds enough fuel for a BBQ grill or even cooking meats on in direct heat in my green egg. For very long slow cook you may need to add more fuel once you have tipped the lighting fuel into your BBQ.
Be sure to use protective gloves when tipping the red coals into your BBQ!
I use with a ‘big green egg’ and can get my egg to 200 faster than my Neff electric oven.
Very happy with the produc
Very happy with this. Capacity is good enough but i have now ordered a second chimney starter as my BBQ is quite big so at least this way they quickly get too temperature ready too cook.
I was quite surprised how well this worked.
a little bit flimsy, arrived a bit squished. used it and worked as stated!
Great value used a lot and it still is the BBQ lighters friend
Brilliant product I didn’t know such a thing existed until recently . Had the most successful BBQ eve
Fantastic. No more struggling to light my bbq, works as it says and will pay for itself as i will no longer need to buy fire lighters or fluids. Lights with a few crunched up pieces of newspaper Would defo recommendations
Great, made in Germany, solid construction, good handle. Turns coals white hot in 25/30mins. I put a 3 tiny firelighters in the bottom to set it off, no paper. It makes life easy.
I love this. I’m not great at starting coal BBQs but this has worked all 3 times I’ve used it, and gets the coals very hot, very quickly!
Can’t believe how good this is so easy to use
Great product, crunch newspaper up underneath chimney, fill up with charcoal, light newspaper, white hot charcoal in under 10mins, ready to BBQ!
simple to use, works very quickly- 15 minutes to produce coals ready for BBQ with just newspapers, no firelighters needed.
Thank you .
