Using Coleman stove to light chimney for WSM 14.5

[Jeff Padell]

I was looking for a better way than paper to start my charcoal chimney for my Weber Smokey Mountains. I thought of my Coleman 425F stove that was all rusted out, but the tank was sound and it lights up.
I put my chimney on the stove and viola coal in 10 minutes!

There's a stove that's seen some cooks! I have an old gasser with a side burner and that's how I get my charcoal lit. Sure beats newspaper or the charcoal starter that looks like a cattle brander

I use chafing fuel gel cans. You can get a dozen cans at smart and final for $12.00 or there abouts.
One can will last a while as you only need it under you chimney for a minute or three, just enough
Time to get the coals started. No Mess no Fuss

I used the stove to force start the KBB as I hate waiting 20 or 30 minutes, this way I can get it ashed over in 7-10 minutes
