Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This environmentally safe chimney starter lights a charcoal grill quickly and easily without lighter fluid. Food tastes better and the charcoal lighter fluid odor doesn’t permeate your picnic--or the environment. To use the chimney starter, stuff two half sheets of newspaper in its bottom chamber and fill the top chamber with coals. After lighting the paper through one of the perforated holes in the starter’s bottom, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes for the coals to heat up to the proper temperature. Simply pour them into the basin of your charcoal grill and you’re ready to barbecue. Charcoal Companion guarantees your satisfaction with this chimney starter for up to one year from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

1.0 out of 5 stars Wake up Amazon, April 13, 2004
This review is from: Charcoal Companion Black Boxed Chimney Starter (Lawn & Patio)
Chimney starters are the only way to go for charcoal. However, do not by this one! As with another review, I also had one of the rivets holding the handle on pop. It also rusted out after the first use. BUY THE WEBER VERSION! I have now had the Weber version for over a year and it is still going strong with weekly use. Price is usually the same.

1.0 out of 5 stars You gotta be kidding me..., March 22, 2004

This review is from: Charcoal Companion Black Boxed Chimney Starter (Lawn & Patio)
Amazon used to offer the Weber Charcoal Chimney at the same price. The Weber Charcoal Starter is 1000% better than this product. I had one of these and once when dumping the coals the upper rivet (yes rivet) came lose and the hot coals spilled out. Could have been a disaster.

Amazon no longer carries the Weber Charcoal Chimney; they list it as discontinued. Weber still makes their chimney and if you saw both of them side by side, there's no comparison. Weber is larger, sturdier, and safer.

Lobby Amazon to carry the Weber again, or do yourself a favor and search Google for the Weber. It retails at 19.99 even if you have to pay full price. Well worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars good idea. bad execution, May 14, 2004

This review is from: Charcoal Companion Black Boxed Chimney Starter (Lawn & Patio)
chimneys starters are a good way to go but like some of the other reviewer's mine popped a rivet and rusted. The Weber is
far superior.
