I grew up with my dad/uncles using lighter fluid. And so I’ve used it too. After a looong time lurking here and looking up grilling recipes etc decided to try the chimney (got it for $14 on Amazon).

It’s so easy! I put one tumble weed, lit it then put chimney on top. Not even 10-15 minutes later it’s ready to go. Cooked skirt steak, rib eyes and some shishkebobs.

I noticed coals retained heat longer too.

    What is this, a chimney for ants?!

    Also, y’all is a contraction of ‘you’ and ‘all’, gotta shift that apostrophe over one space to the left.

    I don’t really argue with people who use fluid, I know it’s pointless, but when they see just the EFFICIENCY of a chimney they change their tune quick.

    There is zero reason to use lighter fluid in today’s world. I got down voted for saying don’t use lighter fluid just yesterday. I assume it’s from lazy people that don’t want to learn you can make fire without it

    So easy! My mate thought I was some sort of fire-summoning wizard when I showed him how simple such a method is.
