charcoal chimney

[pbe gummi bear]

i was wondering why people thought you needed a chimney with the gas assist.  the baskets were intended to hold the charcoal while you lit them with the gas. 

but for once, i kept my mouth shut.

The chimney is actually faster and has more capacity than the baskets.

Aaagghhh, I'm so confused now! Lol.

As in, why even have the gas assist if you are using a chimney?

The chimney allows for a faster burn and allows you to distribute charcoal by pouring. Like the others have mentioned, You'll get a feel for it. I like to fire up my baskets as my chimney doesn't fit in my craycort grate, and the basket capacity doesn't last that long for lump.

Thanks, guys...my last post was trying to be tongue in cheek, but seriously, I will just need to experiment with the baskets and see how I like that, and probably will pick a chimney up anyway, just to have one!
