I'm intrigued by this one especially as a mobile grill.

Does chimney brand matter?

I saw that too, I think Case T has a collapsible chimney of some sort, kind of cool if you want one for camping and so on,
This is what I look for when lighting charcoal. I would dump when it looks like this.
And yes, buy the Weber Chimney Starter, it is better and worth the money.

For reference, here's an ordinary chimney flanked by Webers:
I've named my Weber chimneys "Harry" and "Frank". Can anyone other than "timothy" or "LMichaels" figure out why? First correct guess wins a beer, should we ever meet in person.

A cheap and effective way to turbo your chimney is to use one of those telescoping campfire bellows.
Basically a long metal straw that let's you blow air in a very targeted way. Really gets the chimney roaring.
Don't know how much time it saves, but it is fun to use. And probably safer than the leaf blower.

If my wife worked at our local Ace, I think I would be in a constant state of bankruptcy. Talk about a kid in a candy shop.

I've got two very old random ones I bought with the big holes in the bottom and I've had for 9 years. They work fine. The Weber is great but I"m sure the design could be improved on. I've had mine for 5 or 6 years and no problems. The thing about the Weber is that they are so ubiquitous that people often talk in terms of "half a chimney of charcoal" and they mean a Weber chimney. That's probably the biggest reason to have one is that everyone knows what that means and everyone knows what KBB is. Once you get beyond that the brand name doesn't matter. I think the Weber could do with more small holes towards the top myself. What I do I know, though?

I've seen those, but too many parts, and then you add hinges. Seems to me that it will fail over time.
I remember Boy Scouts and the Frugal Gourmet. Take a metal coffee can and a churchkey . Easy Peasy..
I'll stick with my Weber. On my second one in 20 years.

If you have a blowup mattress with an electric pump that pump works really well as an electric bellows.

I have the big and small Weber chimneys. If you can keep them out of the rain they take much longer to start rusting away. Both work great and start right up when sitting on top of the Performer burner. I've never bought another brand and whenever someone has included a chimney with a used grill that I've bought, it's always been a Weber one.
