  • A clean and easy way to light a charcoal chimney starter is with Lighter Cubes or Fire Starter Squares.
  • Place one or two lighter cubes or fire starter squares on the charcoal grate and light them. then place the chimney over the burning cubes.
  • Light A Chimney Starter Using Newspaper:
  • Using newspaper is the original way to light a charcoal chimney starter. Using a double-wide sheet of newspaper, roll loosely on the diagonal from one corner to the other. Bring the ends together to form a donut that fits inside the chimney starter. Repeat with a second sheet of newspaper. Place the two newspaper donuts in the bottom of the chimney. Note that this leaves a hole in the center for air to flow up through the newspaper for faster lighting. Light the newspaper of charcoal chimney starter in several locations using a fire lighter.

  • The charcoal is ready when you see orange color deep inside the chimney starter, flames licking at the charcoal at the top of the chimney. And gray ash just starting to form on some of the charcoal at the top.

  • If you wait for all the charcoal at the top of the chimney to be fully ashed-over, much of the charcoal in the bottom of the chimney will be spent, so go ahead and dump the charcoal into your cooker when it looks orange color deep inside the charcoal starter.
  • Remember that a chimney starter will hot for a while even after the charcoal has been poured out.

  • Never place a chimney starter on or near flammable materials like a wooden deck or dry grass.
  • The most safest locations to light a chimney is on the charcoal grill grate.

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2023

Besides the handle getting hotter than say a wooden handle, mfg. apparently traded space for more charcoal for less space for newspaper. Have had issues, therefore, starting charcoal with one try. Otherwise, build quality is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works well and will lite charcoal.
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2021
Size: Charcoal Chimney StarterVerified Purchase
My original review follows this revision. Within a day of receiving the review, I got an email from the company stating that they had made a change to the product and they are now producing them with sheet metal screws instead of aluminum rivets and that they were making the change and were going to send a replacement. (After three uses, the aluminum rivets that hold the floor in the chimney melted and allowed the floor to dropout making it useless. I wish I could have returned it... Make sure you make one hot fire in it to test the rivets to make sure they hold up.)

on a separate note, I have noticed several reviews complaining about a rust issue... This product is carbon steel!!! Carbon steel will rust unless you put a light coat of cooking oil on it. If you want one that doesn't rust, buy a stainless steel one. But... just know that option is not free. Stainless steel WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE. Mine is the carbon steel model and the coating that they put on has burnt off, there isn't many coatings available that will withstand 1600 degrees F. I look at the rusting thing as a minor issue. The rust DOES NOT affect the performance of the product!!!
