Charcoal Starter

This thing is so cool. First, it's very large so you can get a lot of bricks in it. It is very sturdy and feels heavy duty. The grip stays cool. It folds up easily and stores nicely. And in top of all of that, you can use it as a mini-grill!

I used it truck camping as a chimney and a single burner grill . It performed well in both situations. I now pack it as my only stove for truck camping. It folds flat for easy storage but is too heavy and bulky for backpacking.

It is portable and folds flat , very useful for travel and use in rentals lacking charcoal chimneys also useful as a second cooking device capable of charcoal cooking itself . It did work fir that role

This is an amazing piece of gear considering the price. It works well as a chimney. The grill can handle four hamburgers, more if you choose hotdogs. It's very compact when flat.

I have an average grill, this is a large item. Its built like a brick outhouse. You will have this for years to come. Too big for what I wanted for camping

The first time we used it the results were better than expected. We have 2 circular charcoal starters that I use for starting the smoker and they work fine. Bought this one to use as a small grill when camping as it folds flat and also has a larger, square top for using the grate or a grilling basket. The charcoal started quickly and with just 3 layers it provided more heat than we needed to sear and cook thick hamburger patties. Look forward to great pork chops, steak, etc.

Sweet!!! Big!!!

we grill a lot: a couple times a week. When our old cylindrical chimney rusted through, we replaced it with this model. The folding quality was attractive when we grill at a park or the beach. Unfortunately, after just a few months, the handle started to melt and the side panels stopped locking together. We went back to the standard cylindrical chimney. I actually did buy a second one of these just for its portability, but we'll save that just for special occasions when we're traveling.
