    • Great product , works great
I have only used twice so far, works well as with any charcoal chimney, but, the great thing about this one, that sets it apart from the others, is the trap door in the bottom. No having to turn upside and dump. Just squeeze the handle over the area you want them, and walla.....

    • Pretty darn good coal starter!
After reading some disgruntled reviews about how the metal turns different colors and that it's cheap metal from China, or the handles fall off right away I feared it might be money lost if I took the chance. Wrong! Yeah, some parts of the metal might change color a little bit due to the heat, but that's to be expected. Happens with all coal starters whether they be Weber or any other brand. Mine hasn't changed colors much since I started using it. But, who cares if it does?? What matters is whether or not it can light your charcoal. And, it does - fast! I don't normally light a full basket of coals (the basket space is big by the way, bigger than the Weber I have). I just do anywhere from 8 to 12 coals then pour them over my main coals once they've ashed over, which takes around 10-15 minutes with this thing. Speedy, which is great if you need to get your BBQ/Smoking situation going fast! The release door is the key point here with the Char-griller. Now I don't have to tilt and pour like I've had to with my Weber chimney. Instead it's just drop from the bottom. This is especially useful for people who cook on smoker barrels/ugly drum smokers. I've had it now for a few months, so far so good. No warping on any of the metal yet. Very good design. I'm probably going to buy a couple more as I need them. As long as you use them for what they're intended for they should last a long time. ... show more

    • Charcoal chimney
You have to manually flip the bottom tray up to load the charcoal but otherwise it's super convenient and works great. Much better than the chimneys where you have to pour out the lit charcoal. Highly recommend this product.

    • Worth the extra money! Easy release system
I got a different charcoal holder from a big name brick and mortar home improvement store. It sucked compare to this one! Holds more charcoal and allows for much easier dumping with the release system.

    • Bottom Drop is Great
I use this for charcoal in an offset smoker. The fire bin opening is a littles small for "pouring" lit coals so happy this just drops them in place.

    • Works Wonderfully
I acquired a wonderful highly regarded brand charcoal grill used and wanted to add some accessories to make grilling more simple and enjoyable. This helps tremendously if you've never used one. It sure beat stacking charcoal and fanning them until they appear to be ready for cooking. This accelerates the process nicely and assures your coals are much more evenly burning. It's a time saver and simple to use. ... show more
