BBQ Dragon

Has anyone used one of these? It's called a Chimney of insanity. Just wondered if it really works like they say? Seems to me that the only thing insane about it is the price. First you have to spend $30 on the chimney and then you have to spend another $35 on a battery powered fan that goes into the hole on the side and stokes the charcoal. $65 to start your charcoal?

I have one that I picked up on sale .. both of them cost me $45 .. do I really need it .. NO!

But .. it gets briquettes/lump ready to cook in about 10 mins. You can use anything that blows air on the chimney hole like a hair dryer/blower etc and save money .. or even concot your own chimney by adding a vent tube like they did .. for convenience this is hard to beat :-) I do use my BBQ Dragon fan on my other grills too (BGE).

I think it's worth 65 bucks for how badass it is... i mean, c'mon, "chimney of insanity"?? How cool is that just to say you have one...

I have it as well - and it does work as advertised. Time wise it beats everything but Cost wise I can't say same .

It's good for me as usually I miss my planned time to start the coal and then I need something in hurry .

I stopped using the regular chimney in favor of the good old "pyramid stack".

Figure if it was good enough for the Egyptians well then what the heck.

Be cool at night. I say get the whole setup.

I like the chimney. Don't use the fan all that often. It eats batteries very quickly

I bought some Eneloop rechargeable batteries from Costco .. much better as the fan uses batteries like crazy ...
