FAQs

Do I need lighter fluid with this starter?

No, this starter is specifically designed to work without chemical accelerants, using natural airflow instead.

Can I use this on a wooden deck?

No, always use the chimney on a non-flammable surface, such as the charcoal grate of your grill.

How many coals can it hold?

The 19 x 27cm size is designed to hold enough charcoal for standard backyard grilling sessions, typically enough for a medium-sized grill.

What should I use to start the fire at the bottom?

Standard crumpled newspaper or natural fire starter cubes are perfect for initiating the airflow.

How do I know when the coals are ready?

The coals are ready when the top layer turns gray with ash and you can see a bright orange glow through the top.

Troubleshooting

Charcoal not igniting evenly

Ensure the chimney is not over-packed, allowing enough airflow between individual coals.

Handle feels warm during use

Ensure you are holding the handle by the provided grip area and not touching the metal body of the starter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This charcoal starter arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use. It is compatible with almost all charcoal grills, smokers, and fire pits. To ensure longevity, allow the unit to cool completely on a fireproof surface after use before storage. Clean any residual ash by turning the unit upside down and tapping it gently. Avoid using water to cool the starter, as rapid temperature shifts can weaken the metal structure over time. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture-related corrosion.
