Tonight I flipped the top chimney so the vents were at the top. Lit the briquettes, went in and set my timer for 8 minutes. Went out at and checked at 7 minutes and the briquettes were so well lit, when I removed the top chimney, flames and sparks were shooting out of it. I never would have thought of trying that. Figures a Fireman would figured that out. Thanks. I have two other chimneys in addition to these two. Four chimney stack = under 5 minutes possibly?

Definitely works. I had these taller ones made for me. Significantly faster due to height.Standard height generic Aussie brand for comparison
Makes sense that it works, longer chimney for cleaner burn, also should help to concentrate the heat in the lower chimney creating quicker start, I guess my stay last night at the holiday inn express made me a frickin scientist LOL

Cool. I’ll have to try that sometime. My routine is pretty polished at this point. I light a half chimney of fresh coal and add to the used coal already in the grill. A half chimney lights in no time and in turn doesn’t take any time to ignite the used coal I’m spreading over. Sent from my iPhone using Weber Kettle Club mobile app
