Charcoal Chimney Starter with Wooden Handle, Black Iron, 27.5 x 16.5cm

Charcoal chimney starter for preparing barbecue fuel

Get charcoal and briquettes ready for grilling with this black charcoal chimney starter. Its cylindrical iron body is designed to hold the fuel while air enters through openings in the lower section and around the base, helping provide the oxygen needed for full burning.

Once the charcoal is ready, the chimney can be positioned over the barbecue and the lit fuel poured into place. It is a practical preparation tool for cooks who prefer to light their charcoal separately before starting to grill.

Air inlets to support combustion

The bottom and wall of the starter feature specially designed air inlets. The visible openings include hexagonal vents around the lower body and a perforated base, allowing air to move through the charcoal as it burns. This ventilation is intended to help the charcoal burn fully rather than restricting airflow inside the chimney.

Wooden handle and removable heat shield

A wooden handle provides a defined grip away from the main metal body. The handle measures 14.5 x 9cm, and the attached metal plate sits between the handle and chimney body. The handle and plate assembly is shown as detachable, which can make the starter easier to carry and store when separated from the main cylinder.

As with any charcoal-lighting equipment, the metal body and its contents become extremely hot during use. Handle the starter only with appropriate care, keep hands and flammable items away from the hot charcoal, and allow the charcoal and chimney to cool completely before storing.

Size, finish and intended use

The chimney starter measures 27.5cm high by 16.5cm across, with a black electrophoresis finish on its iron construction. This is a dedicated charcoal chimney starter for barbecue preparation rather than a cooking vessel, so compare these measurements with your available storage space and the access area of your barbecue before choosing it.

It is supplied in black as the available colour option. The straightforward design suits outdoor cooks who want a separate way to prepare charcoal or briquettes before placing them on the grill.
