Weber 87886 Chimney Starter

I bought this after seeing it in a store. It's a much better design than the regular chimney starters I usually see.
-It's much larger, so I can get a good amount of lump charcoal in and not have to immediately start a second batch like I had to with my old smaller starter.
-The inside bottom is a ring of wires instead of a sheet of metal with a few holes in it. This made for MUCH better ignition from the newspaper underneath as all of the flame was going up against the coal, instead of some through the holes and the rest out of the vents like my old starter.
-The extra helping handle is a nice touch, though I don't really use it.
-The holes on the side make it much easier to tell how far the ignited coals are so you know when you're ready to dump it on the grill.

Another great Weber product!

Throw away your lighter fluid and grab one of these! You'll never have wasted coals and lighter fluid taste in your beautiful steaks again!

Just a piece of newspaper and a dab of veggie oil and your done! Let the coals get white and BAM! your ready to cook!

The only way to go for charcoal lovers!

I've had mine for 3 years now and have left it out in the rain and it looks like it's got another 10 years of service left!

Bought this chimney starter for myself first and then bought one for my son in law...the official grillmaster of the family!! I love mine and he loves his....it lights the charcoal so much quicker than before and NO starter fluid needed...no cost, no smell, no taste and no danger of it igniting your clothes, hair or eyebrows on fire!!
