I want one for the soon to be MINI WSM that I will be building. Has anyone used one on an 18/22 kettle for small charcoal amounts?

Wow, I had no idea this existed. I want one for my Minioning!

I have used it a few times and like it. IMO, when you need a small amount of lit briqs (minion) the mini lights them quicker and more evenly than a partially filled regular sized chimney (side note-I typically only use one parafin firecube as a starter). Is it a "must have"....probably not...just another tool in the arsenal.

Definatly getting this! I started using the parafin cubes 2 years ago and never looked back. I hate the flying embers of newspaper and havn't touched lighter fluid since before I got my regualar chimney.

Yep just right for the 18 and I agree about the minion starting too , works better than the big one.

Need one, then it's gonna be 'handle time' again!

I was thinking the same thing. I have one from Brian, a real beauty (the handle, not Brian. Though I haven't met him yet, so who am I to say he's not a real beauty too), would look perfect on a Mini Chimney.
