The ultimate square chimney starter with a wood handle is the largest chimney starter on the market. The square corners give you extra control when distributing the hot embers.

Summary: Bad paint job...
Comment: I loved it when i first got this chimney starter, but it is definitely not worth the money paid for it, it should be cheaper. The paint is now peeling on each of the units i bought, seems that it can't handle the high temperature that the coals get to while getting ready. either they should use a better quality of paint or get rid of it all together. and i have no idea why it has that secondary metal handle, seems pointless. better yet, i know why it's there, but i never use it nor see the need for it.

Summary: Not worth the price
Comment: I purchased one for the extra capacity but wish I had not given my smaller one to my brother-in-law. Within a year the middle had burned completly through and the device was useless. Going back to the $15 dollar ones that last forever.

Summary: Not Worth the Money
Comment: I wish some reviews had been posted for this when I purchased it 6 months ago! I bought it for the extra capacity and the feeling that the extra money would bring a heavier gauge steel...wrong. Pass up on this and stick to the sub $20 ones that last 2+ years of heavy use. Mine is a piece of garbage now...great concept, poor follow through.

Summary: Price without Quality
Comment: Bought this starter at BBQ's Galore for it's large capacity and hefty feel. After three uses the rivets popped out of the sides that hold the grate, I assume from the weight of a full load of charcoal and high heat. The "heat resistant paint" flaked off and the inside rusted despite a dry summer in San Diego. The bottom sagged, I had to drill and screw sheet metal screws into the bottom grate to get a few more uses from this ill made expensive mistake. I borrowed a friends Weber that he's had for 5 years and it is a much better product. The chimmeny effect does work but barely with this poorly designed product. Get the Weber, I just ordered mine from Amazon. I may buy three (BBQ Gifts) for the price of this wretched device.

Summary: it's good but could be better.
Comment: Well we've only used it once so far but I was a bit disappointed. As soon as I got it I noticed that the black paint scratched off. Also, the handle doesn't stay cool as advertised. It did heat the charcoal well so I can't complain too much I guess. I also like the fact that it's a square container instead of a cylindar for controlling the coals. But for the price I expected a little more.
