## Description

SAPRETAILER BBQ Charcoal chimney starter : desertcart.in: Home & Kitchen

Review: Very nice chimney starter. - This chimney starter is very well made and is also very affordable. The size is quite large though. It's about 8 to 9 inches in diameter and about 12 to 13 inches in length. So if you need a starter that is for just 250 or 500 gms coal, this is not for you. If however you have a BBQ party and want to start about 2 kgs or more of coal, then this is for you. The above was written on 14th June 2019. I ordered another one recently and have used it for igniting about 1.5 kgs of coal. This one is the best value for money. Package was in a carton. That carton was in another carton. Quality and workmanship of the product is excellent. Remember, that it will discolour after the forst use due to the intense heat that the metal is subject to. This is normal and to be expected. After the hot coals are emptied in the barbecue, let this chimney cool down. Once cool wipe with a dry cloth and keep in a dry place to avoid rusting.
Review: Starts the coals burning - does as promised. - With one set of coal flakes, this worked out very well. The hot coals remained in the BBQ for quite some time and very effective. Was thrilled as starting a coal fire, despite all my huffing was not successful. With second set of coal flakes, was more or a disappointment. Over the gas stove, coal started with flames and glowing, appeared to be hot. When I put them into my BBQ, seemed hot, however meat did NOT sizzle. The heat dissipated quickly. Bottom line, apparatus is great, however the coal flakes one uses is important. With the first experience, coal was still hot after 3 hours. Second case, coal hot less than 30 min. Possible I did not do something right ...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy BBQ Firestarter!
*by K***O on 1 February 2020*

Ingenious coal 'kettle' to pre-light coal before adding it to the BBQ grill. The coal gets lit up in just a few minutes. No more huffing and puffing and using hair dryers to start a fire! We call it the 'fire starter' and we're enjoying our BBQs more than ever. Superb product and easy to use and maintain. A must-have - if you have a BBQ grill.
