Easy fire starte 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.
Saves time 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.

Excelle 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
Why Didn't I Buy One Of These Earlie As my partner seems to have been born without the caveman gene, I bought him a BBQ chimney as part of his birthday present. I will admit we were both a bit skeptical however…it lit with such ease that was thought it was beginners luck. The heat that was generated from it in a matter of seconds was amazing, and we sat out in the garden watching magic happen!!
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!”
Hot hot ho 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.
Works superbly 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.

A brilliant value-added concep 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.

Literally the best fire starting chimney like device I’ve ever owned. 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.
Fantastic bbq starte 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.
Great tool for bbq aficionados 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.

HUGE 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.

So handy! 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.
Works Well 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.
Wish I'd Bought This Soone 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.

Safe & handy 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
Ease of use Did not believe the hype but after first use I was hooked, I found that once you start to see orange flames come out of the top then most of the coal’s will have turned white. Larger than I imagined, If you have a shredder then you’ll always have the material to start your bbq, if not then any magazine or paper will be fine. Only downside is the ash and where to place to cool as it will easily burn fingers and grass depending where you leave to cool. Plenty of videos of how to use on YouTube, but if I can get results anyone can. Happy bbq.

Excellent Value 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.
Transforms a chore into a pleasure! 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!!
Helps start your coals quicke Very good value quality seems good. Handle is shielded from the heat. Extra tipping handle to tip charcoal is very useful.
Good value and well made chimney starte 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

Excellent produc 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.
Works a treat and quite a saving on the Weber versio I had never used one of these before so was intrigued. I light it with a small firelighter in the bottom (I had seen video on YouTube showing a bit of screwed up paper being enough to light it but I didn’t find this reliable) and pouring lumpwood charcoal over the top. Approx 20 mins later it is like a mini furnace and you can tip the coals into your barbie. It does get hot as you can imagine but you can pick it up using the 2 handles but you need to hold away for fear of singeing body hair etc. I use it all the time now and cant see any difference to the more expensive Weber branded version.

Solid chimney, nice design. 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.

Love BBQ's? Buy this...! Like the internet, mobile phones, pausing live TV, and wine – this is one of those products you didn’t know you needed until you tried it, and now there’s no turning back!
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…

Just the thing to light my BBQ 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?
Works grea I’d never heard of a charcoal chimney til this summer. We went to You Tube for suggestions on using our newly acquired grill, and everyone suggested a chimney so we ordered one that had a high rating and good reviews, and we’ll add ours to the list of good reviews. It does what it says on the label. Our bbqs have never been better.

Great purchase! 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!

Works every time 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.
best buy ever for bbq 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.
Makes a bbq so much easie 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
Essential for an easy barbeque, bigger size needed for a 50cm + grill 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.
A must-have for BBQs 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!
Works as intended. 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 ... simple to use, works very quickly- 15 minutes to produce coals ready for BBQ with just newspapers, no firelighters needed.
It has arrived much faster that stated, the product ... It has arrived much faster that stated, the product is of a 1st class quality , would suite any BBQ lover to do the job.
Thank you .
Easy to use saves loads of time
Best way to light a BBQ. Fill 3/4 way up add a lighter at the bottom and ready to cook in 15 mi

Only used once but very impressed. Heated coals quickly and to a fierce temperature. Large enough too.
Well made
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.

Works as well as my old Weber chimney. Very sturdy feel and heavier.

Plenty of videos of how to use on YouTube, but if I can get results anyone can. Happy bbq.
Must have for bbq
Way cheaper than the Weber version but works as well. These are a must have for anyone with a charcoal bbq
Does the job
It’s a metal holder for preheating coal, if it didn’t work I would have had some serious issues.
Excellent produc
Gives a quick and even burn of charcoal for bbq.
Excellent Value
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.
Transforms a chore into a pleasure!
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!!
Helps start your coals quicke
Very good value quality seems good. Handle is shielded from the heat. Extra tipping handle to tip charcoal is very useful.
Good value and well made chimney starte
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

Game change
I will never not use this again. Coals were ready so much quicker, all evenly white-hot and the bbq was a raging success.
Excellent produc
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.
I had never used one of these before so was intrigued. I light it with a small firelighter in the bottom (I had seen video on YouTube showing a bit of screwed up paper being enough to light it but I didn’t find this reliable) and pouring lumpwood charcoal over the top. Approx 20 mins later it is like a mini furnace and you can tip the coals into your barbie. It does get hot as you can imagine but you can pick it up using the 2 handles but you need to hold away for fear of singeing body hair etc. I use it all the time now and cant see any difference to the more expensive Weber branded version.

Good value for money
Well made, wire handle balances the unit well, lets see how long it lasts. 10 ignitions so far.
Chimney really makes a difference
Easy to use and does a great job on my Weber BBQ
Chimney starte
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
Solid chimney, nice design.
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.

Like the internet, mobile phones, pausing live TV, and wine – this is one of those products you didn’t know you needed until you tried it, and now there’s no turning back!
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 alternative to a Webe
Great value & very easy to use, but it tastes terrible & is very tough
Bargai
Perfect and nearly 10 cheaper than the Weber one, functions exactly the same.
Just the thing to light my BBQ
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?
I’d never heard of a charcoal chimney til this summer. We went to You Tube for suggestions on using our newly acquired grill, and everyone suggested a chimney so we ordered one that had a high rating and good reviews, and we’ll add ours to the list of good reviews. It does what it says on the label. Our bbqs have never been better.

Very happy
Does exactly what it’s intended too and came next day so very happy.
Great purchase!
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!
Charcoal BBQ'S lighting is now so easy
Brillant for charcoal bbq’s… Easy to use and makes a real difference
You need this in your BBQ life!!
Started my barby in 10 mins… not sure how some people say 20-30 mins this thing is a must!!

Works every time
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
best buy ever for bbq
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.
Four Stars
a little bit flimsy, arrived a bit squished. used it and worked as stated!
Half price of Webe
Great value used a lot and it still is the BBQ lighters friend
Brilliant produc
Brilliant product I didn’t know such a thing existed until recently . Had the most successful BBQ eve
Makes a bbq so much easie
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
Essential for an easy barbeque, bigger size needed for a 50cm + grill
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.
A must-have for BBQs
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!
Magic ******
Can’t believe how good this is so easy to use
Works as intended.
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 ...
simple to use, works very quickly- 15 minutes to produce coals ready for BBQ with just newspapers, no firelighters needed.

Thank you .
