Charcoal Chimney Starter with Wooden Handle, Portable Metal BBQ Fire Starter

Light charcoal and briquettes for a barbecue using this portable metal chimney starter. Its cylindrical charcoal bucket has ventilation openings around the lower section to support airflow while the fuel gets going, with a wooden handle positioned away from the main body for handling.

The chimney format keeps the charcoal together during lighting, making it a practical preparation tool for charcoal grilling. Once the coals are ready, the starter can be lifted and the lit fuel transferred to your barbecue or charcoal grill, subject to the size and design of your particular setup.

Choosing the right charcoal starter

This is a tool for charcoal grills rather than an electric igniter or a complete barbecue. Choose it when you want to prepare charcoal separately before adding it to your cooking setup. As no exact barbecue model compatibility is specified, compare the starter’s physical size and pouring position with the available space around your grill before use.

The product is shown in both a metallic finish and a black finish. The supplied retail options should be checked when selecting the version available for your order.

How to use it

1. Place an appropriate amount of ignition blocks or another suitable charcoal-lighting aid in the base of the charcoal bucket.
2. Add the required charcoal or briquettes above the ignition material.
3. Position the starter over the lit ignition blocks and allow the fuel to burn.
4. When the charcoal has burned sufficiently and the coals have turned white, allow a further 5 to 10 minutes before transferring them to the grill.

Use the wooden handle when moving the starter and keep hands clear of the metal body, openings and hot charcoal. Transfer the contents carefully, as both the bucket and fuel can remain extremely hot during and after lighting.

Care and storage

Allow the chimney starter and charcoal to cool completely before emptying, cleaning or putting it away. Remove loose ash and charcoal residue once cool, then store the metal starter in a dry place. Do not handle or store it while hot, and do not leave burning charcoal unattended.
