Best for: Lighting charcoal and getting an even batch of coals ready.
A charcoal chimney holds coals above a small lighting chamber so airflow helps the fire spread upward. It gets your charcoal going without lighter fluid and makes it easier to start with a consistent fire.
How to Use It
Set the chimney on the grill’s charcoal grate, away from anything flammable.
Fill it with charcoal and place a suitable fire starter underneath.
Light the starter and wait until the upper coals begin to ash over.
Wearing heat-resistant gloves, carefully pour the coals into the grill.
Care tip: Let the chimney cool completely, then store it somewhere dry to slow down rust.
