Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was hesitant to order another chimney starter after having purchased the weber standard size starter. The standard starter is big and holds about 100 briquettes. This is great if using a full size grill. I however, travel with my 18" Weber and this compact starter is perfect and takes up much less room. I also use it when I only need 10 or so briquettes for slow smoking. I haven't noticed the handle getting hot because I use gloves when handling these starters and I think everyone should to avoid burns. Recommended. I added a photo so people can compare the size difference.
