Safe, Reliable Environmentally Friendly Charcoal Starter From a Trusted Brand
We grill virtually every Sunday, as such our charcoal starter gets constant use and we need to have a reliable method to start our charcoal. Over the decades I have tried several of these chimney starters, and this is the best and longest lasting by far. Some items to note: - Kingsford is a brand that has been in business for many years - The sheet metal used for this starter is thick and strong - Sheet metal is zinc steel - Large handle is sturdy and does not break - Heat shield for your hand works well, safe to use - No lighter fluid needed, environmentally friendly - Rust resistant - Large capacity In summary, a great product executed well from a great company, highly recommended.

Heats up in 10 minutes, charcoal grill necessity
I was **brand new** to charcoal grilling at the start of this year but was committed to learning because there is no comparison to that charcoal taste. Using this chimney has been pretty fool proof, even in negative weather in the Midwest! I was hesitant about charcoal grilling because of the stigma that it takes forever to heat up, but I don't think the 10 minute time commitment this takes is anything! My recipe for success (I'm positive theres other ways or tricks, but this has worked splendid for me every time): -Empty ash from grill - remove grate from grill - open damper on bottom of grill - fill the top part of the chimney with charcoal (this is a big chimney so I fill about 3/4 of the way full) and place in bottom of - put chimney in the grill - stuff ripped up paper or cardboard in the bottom part of the chimney and light it - wait about 10-20 minutes (I've grilled in -10 degrees and it took 20 minutes, in more favorable weather it takes about 10), the ones on top start to turn grey - dump into grill and arrange to fit the needs for that grilling session The most frustrating part to me has been fighting a subpar lighter, so a quality lighter is a must! I like that this chimney is large enough to hold a variable amount of charcoal for the times I meal prep for the week and need the whole grate space. For the price point of $15-20, this was a great value and an essential to making charcoal grilling enjoyable and timely

Quality charcoal starter that holds up well and hope to use for years to come
A great quality charcoal starter. Feels heavy duty in construction, its size is very robust and can hold a good amount of charcoal. Charcoal. Feels about 6-7 lb. Of charcoal to fill. The edges. Feel a little bit Sharp side. Handle it carefully for safety as well as due to the heat, although it does have a finger guard for that. Easy to clean as there's minimal edges. Definitely assists with getting coals up to speed fast and easy. Compared to other brands, this is a very good value for the price point and would recommend

Great item
Works quickly to prepare charcoal for grilling & Dutch oven cooking. Sturdier than our previous Kingsford charcoal preparer, & that one lasted 25+ years.

Tarda demasiado en llegar.
Buen producto ya que es de calidad similar a otras marcas que pueden costar el doble. Ojo con el vendedor que te toque, en mi caso daba fecha de entrega en 3 días y tardó más de un mes en llegar.

Super prático, funciona muito bem. A qualidade do material parece ser adequado e suficiente para o tipo de uso. Recomendo usar uma luva para evitar queimaduras.
