I always loved the charcoal grill despite the hassle of getting the charcoal started because of the flavor it gives to the food. I once saw an expensive charcoal grill in a friends place which comes with a propane attachment to get the charcoal started but I didn't want to spend that much because we can grill hardly a dozen weekends in a year. This is only a $15-$20 more expensive than the other chimneys of it's size and the recurring cost on the propane cylinders is under $3, it lasts for a whole season for us. But the ease of use is amazing. All you need is good charcoal briquettes and you can use the small red switch to light up. Usually the fire starting part takes 20-25mins but with this it takes only 10mins(which is the time it takes for the charcoal to be ready for the grill) that too without any smoke in the face or firewood or the easy light briquettes which is said to be unhealthy.

They also have an extra attachment you can use to convert it to a stove when you go camping. It works perfectly and makes the grilling experience purely enjoyable. Now we grill even more often than before including weekdays.

This charcoal chimney works great. The price was a little higher than some others, but the propane system really does the job. My experience is that it fires right up with a single click of the red button. The stand really helps, because you have someplace safe to put the hot unit after you have poured the hot coals into the grill, and it makes starting the process easier as well. It seems sturdy so it should last (although I have not had mine very long). The handle remains cool even when the charcoal is roaring. Works very fast. I would buy again in a minute.

Finally a way to start my charcoal that is clean and easy! No more burning paper smell or paper ash blowing around! This is a well built item too! It also doubles as a single burner cook stove! Cooking with a Dutch Oven means keeping a small number of hot coals at the ready and this tool centainly fits the bill. Well worth the money.

I really love this product, moreover, I wanna speak out the complimentary mention for Max BBQ.
It definitely easy to light charcoal without any gas smell. Think about bad chemical in imperfect burning charcoal which is even soaked in gas. This lighter has nothing to do with it.
This product would be a perfect solution for people who want to eat BBQ sooner and easier.
When I was using it, the part of it was broken, and I sent a mail to Max BBQ.
Max BBQ contacted me very fast and they promised to deliver the part. Thanks.
I put the five stars for them.

This thing is the best thing since slice bread. When humanity created fire, they should have created this thing.

I bought this item for my father's day BBQ party.
I used to use match light charcoal for the BBQ so we could get ready faster for cooking but those charcoals have charcoal fuel which is bad for your health and enviorment.
This charcoal starter maked my father's day party more easier.
And also I used the burner to boil the pot too.
It was very convienent for outdoor cooking.
I realy liked this item.

This Charcoal gas starter really works great! We used to use newspaper which often times did not work well and we would have to start over, well not any more... We Love this gas charcoal starter. A special thankyou to MAXBBQ for outstanding customer service!

This thing is great! The propane cylinder costs under $3 and lasts a long time! It pays for itself just because you don't have to keep buying lighter fluid! I love this thing!
