Simple and easy to use, sturdy design. Sometimes some hot charcoal escape from the bottom, so make sure you leave it on your BBQ as it heats up. NIce tool - buy today

Easy and safe to use. I used the starter chimney to light up the lump wood charcoal. Took about 20 mins for the charcoal to burn and ready for cooking. Ideal for small sized bbq's.

This is a terrific little item that is dependable and fast.... no lighting and relighting your charcoal while everything is ready to BBQ.. No smelly fuel or fire starters just a. couple of sheets of newspaper and a match.... a no brainer!!
