Gentlemen, start your chimneys! I had resisted buying one of these for years thinking they were an unnecessary widget for BBQing. Don’t get me wrong, I have no qualms about buying extra widgets that have the slightest relation to BBQing, it just seemed like these were making extra work and I was dead wrong. Hank Hill would even convert to briquettes once he gets ahold of one of these.

These little chimneys make starting your briquettes much easier and faster. You just use a couple of pieces of newspaper rolled into little donuts at the bottom and you’ll get your briquettes uniformly started in no time. You also save on the cost, smell, taste and eyebrow-removing-kabooms of lighter fluid.
