I've had one for over 5 years. It still looks great and is flawless in performance. I bought one for my son since he cooks out all the time. He couldn't have been happier to have one of his own.

I've never found a better way to start a charcoal fire! I like this so much that I bought a friend one for her grill, and she loves it. Never fails to light the charcoal. And without the smell, chemicals, or fire risk of expensive fluid starters. A few crumpled paper sheets cost nothing. And, if you have the 22" Weber kettle, filling the starter to the top provides what I think is the perfect amount for most cooking work. And it has lasted for 20 years.

Great chimney starter. I got this to replace one that had rusted. I'm loyal to this brand because of consistent fast startups. Don't worry about the price; it's worth it for good results.

I have two of these; in less than 3 months, one plastic handle melted off completely, and the other is severely deformed. This despite following the instructions that were included. I boggles the mind that a product intended for holding flaming coals can't handle the temperatures that the product produces.

Works every time! Tried using lighter fluid unsuccessfully, so ordered the chimney starter and it works great.

It eliminates the need to use any chemicals. You can use either one of the paraffin blocks or do what I do and recycle a couple pages of old newspaper. This chimney guarantees a quick start without the jassle

This is the best way to start your charcoal. Just crumble up some newspaper and put it under the coals. Light it and in a few minutes the coals will be started. You can avoid that gassy smell of lighter fluid and have a nice clean fire to cook on.

I wanted to get away from chemicals to light our Bar B Que, I remembered my father-in-law had a cylinder starter he placed newspaper underneath and then poured the charcoal inside the top. I bought this today and crumpled a few sheets of newspaper loosely just like I had remembered. It smoked excessively at first so much so I thought about getting a blanket and doing smoke signals seriously. The paper was gone it was still smoking I wasn't sure if this was a fail or not. I walked in the house a few minuets later I returned to find flames and the charcoal glowing. Oh yes it was perfect and in less time then the pile takes. I was so impressed I did it again only with a full load of charcoal same impressive results with no chemicals just a few sheets of crumpled newspaper. The cylinder is made heavy-duty it's well ventilated to get those coals heated incredibly fast. It is worth the money and saves time. I love it!

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
