Outset Q110, Chimney Grill Starter (zinc/5lb capacity) Review

We've been using this starter all summer.It's worked well for us and is holding up just fine so far.My only complaint would be that it's a bit small so it doesn't hold enough coals to cook for company.I'm here today to order another one to solve that problem.I love that it heats the coals up so fast and that we don't have to add lighter fluid (waste of money, bad for the environment, bad for us if any gets on our food).And not a drawback of the design or anything like that, but if you've never used one of these before, watch it carefully the first few times.It works pretty fast and gets HOT so if you leave the coals in there too long, they'll start to burn out and you'll waste time you could've used for cooking (they might cool off/burn out completely before you're done grilling).

Weber 87886 Chimney Starter Review

Get a coffee can, and cut off the bottom with a can opener.With a bottle opener, use the pointy end for opening juice cans to make openings all around the bottom on the side.Get a double-sheet piece of newspaper and roll from the edges toward the center to make sort of a doughnut, and place in the bottom of the can.Do the same with another sheet of paper, but roll it smaller and place it inside the other doughnut.Poke holes through the center of the doughnuts for air flow.Place your charcoal briquettes on top of the paper.Push the whole stack up so the paper doesn't block the holes (the friction of the paper against the can will hold up the stack).Set the can on your grill or cooking spot, and light the paper through the holes in bottom.It may be beneficial to stack another can with the bottom cut out on top to improve the chimney effect.Now let it sit for 10-20 minutes while the briquettes light up.Come back and find out it blew out.Light it again.Watch it longer this time.When the briquettes in the bottom and sides are gray with ash, use tongs to move them around so the unburned ones can light.When ready, use your Vise-Grips to remove the can.Do not leave the can out in the rain, or it will rust (more easily).
...OR...
Just spend the very reasonable about of money and buy this product!No rolling the paper JUST right - just wad it up and stick it in the bottom.No concern with keeping the air holes uncovered - a grill inside holds the charcoal.Put the Vise-Grips back in the tool box - this has nice handles.And don't worry about mixing the charcoal - it all lights up evenly.
When I first opened the box, I thought, "Wow!This thing is huge!"Made my two coffee cans seem small, but it is supposed to light a grill-full of charcoal at once.I got the Weber because with all of my research on grills and accessories, Weber products are always recommended above all others.This item seems well-built, and I expect it to last a very long time.After using my homemade charcoal chimneys, which I got pretty good at, I was ASTOUNDED at how quickly this lighted, how quickly it got the charcoal up to temperature, and amazed at the orange inferno it created!
I've been around charcoal grills my whole life (but don't have one myself.Yet.I got this for Dutch oven cooking.) and have never seen a charcoal chimney!I've seen people nearly kill themselves with charcoal starter and ate plenty of charcoal-starter burgers.I don't know why everyone with a charcoal grill doesn't use one of these.
Get rid of storing the starter in your home and transporting it in your car.Get rid of the explosion when you light your grill.Get rid of the starter by-products in your food.Do get this charcoal chimney and get the most easily-lit, most consistently-burning charcoal you can.

Outset QS10, Chimney Grill Starter (stainless-steel/5 lb capacity) Review

We've had these chimney type grill starters for a while now, and they all seems to just fall apart after a coouple dozen uses. I don't think this one will. Solid stainless with heavy wall construction and very well built. Worked with one piece of newspaper first time and out since then. Looking forward to using this for years to come. I think the extra cost for the extra quality is well worth the investment.

Weber 7416 Rapidfire Chimney Starter Review

I'm a big food Network fan and my favorite guy is Alton. What I saw on one of his shows was the most awesome advice for this device. Take ONE, that's right, ONE piece of newspaper and sprinkle a few drops of vegetable oil on it; then put it under your chimney starter (outdoors, please, eggman if you're reading this) and fire it up with a full can of any kind of charcoal. You won't believe how well this works. One more thing; DO NOT set a chimney starter on a gravel driveway when you start it. For some reason, the heat transfers much easier through gravel than concrete. Just put the thing on your grill grate and wait for 20 minutes. You'll have smokin' hot coals that will be almost too hot for smokin' food. I even saw Alton searing tuna on top of one of these things.
