Kingsford Charcoal Chimney Starter

Simply place crumpled newspaper in the bottom chamber, fill the top with charcoal briquettes, and light the paper through the bottom vents. Once the top layer of coals shows a light coating of gray ash, they are ready to be poured into your grill.

While this model is optimized for charcoal briquettes, it can also be used with lump charcoal. Just be aware that lump charcoal pieces vary in size, so you may need to arrange them carefully to ensure proper airflow.

The handle is designed to stay cool to the touch while the charcoal is burning. However, it is always a good practice to use a heat-resistant grilling glove when handling the chimney to ensure complete safety.

This chimney is sized to hold enough charcoal to effectively cover the cooking surface of a standard-sized kettle grill. It is designed to provide a consistent, even burn for most backyard grilling sessions.

Galvanized steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an ideal material for outdoor grilling tools. To extend the life of your chimney, we recommend storing it in a dry place after it has completely cooled down.
