Forget lighter fluid and the unwanted flavours it can leave behind. Simply fill the chimney with charcoal briquettes, light from underneath and let the chimney do the work.

Why use a chimney starter instead of lighter fluid?

A chimney starter lights charcoal using heat and airflow rather than chemical accelerants. This helps avoid unwanted flavours while producing evenly lit coals that are ready to cook with.

How do I know when the charcoal is ready?

The charcoal is ready when most of the briquettes are covered with a light grey ash and are glowing underneath. This usually indicates they're burning evenly and can be safely poured into the barbecue.

Can a chimney starter improve temperature consistency?

Yes. Starting with evenly lit charcoal helps create a more consistent fire, making it easier to maintain stable cooking temperatures throughout your barbecue, particularly during longer cooks.
