Hi All,
For all the gadgets the get a charcoal chimney starter to work faster, I wanted one that didn't require any power or maintenance. It's a simple chimney for the chimney that takes advantage of the 'stack effect' to force more air through the coals. I can have working hot coals in 5-8 min, depending on load.
The construction is just a 24" piece of 4" round ducting and an 8" stainless bowl from Wally-world - $12 all in. Simply set it on top once your newspaper or cubes are lit.
