Electric Charcoal Starter Vs Chimney

You can t beat plug it in and turn it on for a simple startup.

Electric charcoal starter vs chimney.

A charcoal starter is just a metal cylinder divided between a section for the fire starter and the charcoal. With these 2 things in mind i was thinking about getting one of those electric starters that sit in the coals. I really like my chimney starter though i ve found that i need 2 of them in order to have enough charcoal for most of my grilling. Vents are crafted into the chimney starter for the flame has a constant source of oxygen.

The biggest difference is in my opinion that with a chimney starter you light all the charcoal and with an electric grill starter you light only the charcoal that is touched by the heated tip and it will take longer for all the charcoal is ready to be ready to use. The dimensions of the chimney starter are 8 inches. In fact if you regularly use larger lump charcoal in your charcoal grill or kamado grill this is the perfect choice for you. In this category it s all about the electric smoker.

Plus once the electricity is on it stays on barring a power failure no refilling charcoal during a prolonged session.
