Hello, Chimney
-
This metal cylinder, called a chimney starter, may permanently change the way you grill.
With two chambers -- the top for charcoal and the bottom for newspaper -- you’ll never have to douse the coals with lighter fluid again. (The chemicals in lighter fluid are not only harmful to the environment, but also unhealthy for you and your food.)
Tip: Make sure to read and understand the owner’s manual for your grill before using it.
Rapidfire® Chimney Starter
