We firmly believe that a chimney is the best way to light a charcoal fire. This method is safe, fast, and avoids the taste that lighter fluid imparts on charcoal. Just load up the chimney with charcoal, stuff some newspaper underneath the chimney, and light the newspaper. Your charcoal will be ready to cook in about 20-30 minutes. Constructed with durable aluminized steel, this chimney has an extra large capacity. Measures 7.5in diameter x 12in high. Why use a chimney to start your charcoal? Check out our
