charcoal chimney

Coal-starting metal cylinder

A charcoal chimney is a metal cylinder used to ignite charcoal briquettes without lighter fluid.

You load charcoal in the top, stuff newspaper underneath, and light it—the chimney effect draws flames upward through the coals.

When the top coals are ashed over, you dump them into the grill.

I got the charcoal chimney going while you prep the burgers.
