TRY IT! Make meat taste so much better

Our family has been using these chimney starters from Weber for many many years. TRY IT!!!! you will never use lighter fluid again. You don't realize how much gets absorbed into the meat until you eat meat that hasn't been grilled with any accelerator in/on the charcoal... no matter how much you "think" you have burnt off the fluid. There are other cheaper models of these around but they have not lasted as long as the Weber.

Cheers!

Outstanding! Thank you! I have been using Weber kettles for 50 years. We got our first one as a wedding present, wore it out, and have replaced it every 20 years or so. Still a fan!

Excellent!!

This product is great. With only two sheets of newspaper the charcoals are ready in 5 minutes!! I wish I had known about this product a long time ago. Now I need to figure out what to do with the two bottles of starter fluid I have left and will never use.
