I forgot to mention when I ordered the Stock Drum Charcoal Grill, I needed a chimney starter. So I grabbed this as well:

Oooooooh. High tech charcoal lighting. I love it. Technology meets the "match". Great stuff.

That is pretty cool. Like muebe said, add a grate and you have a perfect personal jet cooker. Alton Brown once seared some tuna on a chimney starter. I think he went 1 minute per side - I bet you could cut that time in half or better with this!

I don't like it.  how the hell am I suppose to drink a FT in 7 minutes?  I mean really.  my bbq is all timed.  fill up chimney.  stuff 2 pieces of newspaper underneath it.  match and lots of smoke from newspaper (I like that part).  drink one FT and when you finished w/ FT so is the coals.  its all about the timing brother.   can't mess up the system.  8)

Loving Sparky!!  :D :D

You could pop a top about 5 minutes before you start the charcoal or just drink a tad bit faster  ;) ;)
