Love it. I was impressed with the size and quality of this and the price is quite reasonable $22 (prime). The thickness of the metal is a good sturdy gauge material. The chimney (part you put the charcoal in) is a good size too...very close to the size as the Weber 7416 Rapidfire Chimney Starter...just a mm or two smaller diameter, which is a bit of a bummer, as I was hoping to be able to use my old Weber starter on top of this, but the diameter of the Weber starter is exactly same size as the burner base, so it's not very stable when you set it on this. Oh well...I might just bend/modify my old Weber starter chimney a bit to make it fit so I can use both during heavy grilling/smoking sessions.

Edited July 6, 2013 used it for the second time on the 4th of July, and the starter melted to the body/canister. Poor design. The starter assembly is all plastic, so it really needs to be shielded/insulated from the heat. And now that my Amazon return/exchange window is closed (ended July 5th), I'm stuck with this thing, and having to light it another way. I even went to the website listed on the box (www.maxbbqusa.com) but it's a fake website. I'll try to contact the seller (Jack's Tool Shed) and see if they want to make things right. I'm pretty disappointed. Buyer beware. I've added some photos of the melted starter.

For years I used a chimney with newspaper with mixed results. I have used this gas chimney all summer and I love it. Ten minutes from start to cook. Very reliable so far. I am still on my first gas canister after a whole summer of use.

Honest reviews on Chimney Barbecue Grill Starter with Gas burner assist for faster

This was a great buy. Every serious grill master should have one. No more fuss with newspaper, wet conditions, and wind. All I have to do is push the starter button and within a few minutes the coals are lit. I know there were negative reviews on the starter button melting but if you follow the directions it will not happen; once the coals are lit (again, no more than a few minutes) turn it off and remove the basket of coals.

This is only around $5 more than a standard chimney, but the quality is much better. Thicker steel, side air intake holes, nice handle, and a good heat shield.

Only downside, is the wire that goes from the sparker to the burner isn't very heavy nor shielded. The insulation burns off pretty much instantly. Still works, but I worry one day the sparker will stop working. Not a huge deal, but this is a product review. I would still buy it again no problem.
