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:
“Courtship was a serious business for the reason that everybody knew when a young couple began to ‘set up’ with each other. They could tell by the sparks flying from the chimney late at night.”
