BBQ Dragon
« on: August 06, 2017, 02:52:59 PM »
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?

This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"

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 [emoji4].

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.

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 ...
