Grillmark Charcoal Chimney Starter

What Problem This Part Solves
Lighting charcoal directly in a firebox can be slow and inconsistent, and using lighter fluid can impart off-flavors. A chimney starter accelerates coals to cooking temperature quickly and evenly by harnessing natural draft, eliminating the need for chemical accelerants.

Key Features
Heavy-gauge steel construction for durability
Perforated sides promote rapid, even charcoal ignition
Ergonomic heat-resistant handle with protective grip
Capacity sized for standard briquettes & lump charcoal
No lighter fluid needed—clean, natural fire starting

Compatibility / Fits Models
Universal charcoal grilling accessory — works with most charcoal, kamado, and charcoal-capable grills and smokers; verify physical size (height/diameter) fits your grill’s firebox area.

Installation / Use Instructions
Place chimney starter on a level, heat-resistant surface.
Fill the top with charcoal (briquettes or lump).
Place lit fire starter cubes or crumpled paper beneath and let coals heat until glowing (usually 10-20 minutes), then pour into grill.
