Yep.
I've had my Weber Chimney for years, no more nasty lighter fluid tasting food for me.  Attached File |

I use mine almost every day. Fill the chimney with lump mesquite, tear off some of the charcoal bag for the bottom, splash some Coleman fuel on top, let it soak for five minutes, then get the party started. Smashburgers tonight by wife's request.

THATS CALLED NUT COAL, BIG SHIPS BURN BIG COAL. THATS THE SIZE YOU BURN IN A KITCHEN COAL STOVE. I BURN BIGGER COAL THEN THAT IN OUR PARLOR STOVE. OF COURSE THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD BIG LUMPS AND CRACKED THEM INTO 4 PIECES FOR PROFIT . THE BIG SHIPS AND FOUNDRYS BURN EGG COAL. COAL IS SOLD BY THE SIZE RICE,BUCK,PEA,NUT,STOVE, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST EGG. I LIVE RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE COAL REGION AND ALWAYS HAVE. IF I WASNT SO TIRED I WOULD GO TAKE PICTURES OF BUCK (I BURN THAT IN A STOKER) AND SOME STOVE COAL (I BURN IN THE PARLOR STOVE)

While I like chimney starters, there is something about the smell of lighter fluid that makes me wax nostalgic: It reminds me of summers during my youth.

I haven’t used lighter fluid in over 20 years to start a fire. Whenever I’m at someone else’s cookout and they use lighter fluid it is all over the taste of the food.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ricko1: Originally Posted By CDPhD: While I like chimney starters, there is something about the smell of lighter fluid that makes me wax nostalgic: It reminds me of summers during my youth. I use a starter 90% of the time these days, but if you use fluid and you can taste it then it means you aren't letting the coals burn long enough before adding food, imo. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DamnYank: Charcoal chimneys fucking rock! I thought these chimney lighters were a joke until I was with my buddy and he used one to get the pit started for a jambalaya cooking competition we were in and I was amazed. After that one time, no more fluid and only Weber chimneys for me now. I have three of them. |
