Chimney Starter - Use of A Chimney Starter

Use of A Chimney Starter

A chimney starter is used by placing charcoal (as lump charcoal or briquettes) in the chimney so that they stack on top of the grate. Once the charcoal is all burning (it will appear glowing red in the bottom and ashed over on the top), the chimney is picked up by its handle and the lit charcoal dumped into the grill.

A non-traditional use is to cook directly over the chimney starter, which provides a high-intensity heat-source for flash-searing fish or other foods.

Famous quotes containing the word chimney:

    When a daughter tries suicide
    and the chimney falls down like a drunk
    and the dog chews her tail off
    and the kitchen blows up its shiny kettle
    and the vacuum cleaner swallows its bag
    and the toilet washes itself in tears ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
