Char-Griller Charcoal Chimney Starter with Release

It’s easy with the bottom release, when putting the hot coals in the vortex

My third purchase especially its self dumping mechanism

They all should be constructed this way. Discharges the coals right into the BBQ without the risks associated with tipping the thing over. Greatly reduces sparks and small pieces dripping to the floor.

Es un complemento perfecto para tu asador...y con su funcion de liberado rapido de las brazas es muy conveniente

So I purchased a smoker and the guy that I purchased it from says, "oh man it is so easy, you just load the stovepipe with charcoal and when it gets hot then you dump it into the lower bowl...". Now I am not one of those people who will go along with something I don't know, acting like I do, so I ask, "Stovepipe?!?" He says, "yeah, you grill don't you? How do you get the charcoal started?". I explained that I put the charcoal into a pyramid and then use starter fluid, and he quickly cut me off. "Starter fluid?!? Nah Boss, you need a stovepipe. It is better..." Again, I looked at him with deer eyes and sideways turned dog head and said, "Stovepipe? what is a stovepipe?". He pulls out his phone and goes to Amazon and shows me a pic of the Chargriller CHIMNEY Starter. I then go, "Oh! I have seen those...do they work well?". "All you need is charcoal, some newspaper, and a match..." he says. So I order this Chimney starter(...stovepipe). When I get it, I notice that it is larger than I thought that it would be. I wad up about thre pages of newspaper in a ring under the starter and load up the charcoal. I light the newspaper through the holes at the bottom and was surprised to see how quickly it was lighting without starter fluid. After a little while I pick up the chimney and pull the trigger to find that the charcoal just empties in to the bowl, no muss, no fuss. I believe that is the simplest lighting that I have had. I am very satisfied qith my Chimney and now I don't use lighter fluid at all. I suppose he was right...on the advice, not the name...but, really...what's in a name?
