- Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2021Verified PurchaseGreat price. Its not weber quality, but at this price point, you absolutely cannot argue against this thing. It works and it works well. Holds lots of coals and the heat shield and handle properly keep the heat away.
I used probably the poorest quality hardwood lump coals (the bag even contained rocks...) and using two fire starters the coals were ready in about 15-20 minutes with no fanning (fast with it). I was a bit skeptical due to the bottom of the chimney not appearing to have enough airflow but it proved to be enough and works fine. You just need to be gentle with storage and transporting it the metal is not the strongest..but again, it works well! Some parts are not welded or fastened but instead are slotted within the chimney. For example, the square bottom grate is slotted into the chimney walls. This means if you very severely dent the chimney or bend it out of shape, it may pop out, but I'm sure it would be easily fixable by bending it back.
The metal does get 'discoloured' after being heated but this is 100% normal and expected. There was absolutely no chemical smells coming from the chimney during first use or in the coals while cooking - so this is 'issue' people are complaining about is a non-issue! No metal will stay the same color if it hasn't been treated with heat!
Please rate my review as helpful if this has helped you! :)
- Reviewed in Canada on September 19, 2024Verified PurchaseSo easy to use, one match and a twist of paper, follow instructions and your charcoal is ready quickly. Only negative, I use it when camping so a few inches shorter would’ve been nice. Works so good so not a deal breaker.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2024Verified PurchaseThis product is solid. Value for price is amazing.
I left burning hot coals (filled to the rim) in there for about an hour. And i was still able to grab the handle no problem (handle felt like it didnt even change temperature).
My only suggestion is that i wish they had a wider option

- Reviewed in Canada on June 20, 2021Verified PurchaseThe sheet metal is thin but more than capable of doing the job. It takes about 10-15 minutes to get ALL the coal in the starter hot and glowing for me, but I find it's somewhat dependent on how densely the coals are packed and how much tinder you use to get the fire going. It certainly takes less effort than before. Once you've poured the hot coals onto your grill, add more coal as needed depending on how much you are cooking. From my experience, heating up one batch of coal from the coal starter was more than enough to cook a meal for a family of 4.
When I purchased this it was around $10 and was roughly half the price of similar products from brand name manufacturers.
The metal does discolour (mine did after first use) but does not seem to affect usability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen producto a bajo precio.
Verified PurchaseBuenísimo, solo mete abajo una lata de alcohol sólido, agrega media bolsa de carbón en trozos grandes ( no metas pedaceria por que se ahoga y no prende) prende el fuego y espera 20 minutos, ten cuidado al vaciarlo por que saltan las flamas, usa guantes para calor.
