A game changer
Excellent piece of kit, as one reviewer said "a game changer" and it really is, red hot charcoal within 15 minutes using just 3 Weber cubes, next time I'm sure 2 cubes could be used. It's fairly smokey at least on the first use as the metal burns in the heat, the chrome of the grid burns off and the zinc plating burns away on the sides but that's expected, I'll be storing it in a plastic bag which should reduce corrosion over time.

    I received a CosmoGrill for my birthday and trying to get the hang of bbq’ing without my old Lotus Grill, which circulated air. Looking for an appliance to help with the coal burning, I came across this. It looked like the bigger version of the internal burning cylinder of the lotus grill, so decided to give it a try. The instructions were simple to understand and that night, best bbq ever! Using just 3 cubes of firelighter, I filled the cylinder to 3/4. Lit the cubes, placed this on top and perform exactly as stated. Initially a lot of smoke and then the flames built up in a controlled way. Within 15 minutes, my coals were ready to be tipped and spread across the bbq. Closed the lid and waited until the internal temp reached 260 degrees C and started cooking. Not only had I got a full bbq on the go in 15 minutes, it was evenly cooking across the whole grilling area. Even if you think you are great at bbq, I am 100% sure this will make your life much more easier. No more shuffling charcoal and having to watch it constantly, this has taken all the problems out of bbq’ing!

    A must have for a charcoal BBQ. This is large so you get plenty of coals inside, I had a previous cheaper version that was both smaller and not as sturdy as this, it couldn't handle 10 uses, i feel this one will give me loads more than that. The handle spacing is also larger than my cheap one so less likely to feel the heat on your hand. A great price and already well worth the money.

    Brilliant piece of kit, speeds up the process of lighting up the BBQ. Has a good capacity and seems well made, so should last a while.
    The plastic handle does get a bit hot, so I use a thermal glove to grab it (or an oven glove).

    Better than I was hoping for. Got the coals ready to go in 15-20 mins. To light I used one match and some of the packaging that came with the chimney. No fire lighters needed again, top drawer.

    Bought this as a replacement for my original Weber Chimney - After about 8 years of continuous use it finally started to warp a bit due to rust/heat damage so I decided to replace , although in truth I'd probably get away with using it for at least another summer. Which as good as an endorsement for product quality as I can think of

    Na jaren aanmodderen met een of andere aanmaakvloeistof of de gasbrander, heb ik me nu toch maar zo'n starter gekocht. En als je het dan toch al doet, dan ook gelijk maar een goede, ik wil er even mee vooruit kunnen. Eerlijk gezegd kende ik dit nog niet zo goed, jep, ik liep echt een beetje achter haha, maar nu wou ik dat ik het jaren eerder had gedaan.

    Tras ver varios cientos de videos para gordos potenciales, donde asaban búfalos en una weber mientras se beben un vaso de albóndigas me decidí a comprar el artilugio que usaban todos para encenderla.

    La primera vez que la usé me sentí como el primer cavernícola que hizo fuego. Me sentí invencible. Podía dominar el elemento. Es el mejor invento desde la siesta.

    La lleno de carbón, le pongo el fuego debajo y me bebo 4 cervezas mientras se enciende y mis invitados hablan de cosas que, sinceramente, no me importan. Puedo empanarme tranquilamente y asentir a todo lo que dicen sin tener que vigilar el fuego.

    A mi cardiólogo no le parece tan buen invento.
