I've been happy with my coffee can for years, but I've heard this toy is tops for charcoal lovers. Thanks. Mon Mar 30 16:33:21 -0700 2009 223100 snackysmore 1 4552500 I got mine at Ontario Gas BBQ, which is in Concord. I would think Sobies, in WIllowdale has it. Or maybe home hardware. I checked Canadian Tire and Home Depot websites, nada. Mon Mar 30 17:10:14 -0700 2009 4552396 157056 grandgourmand 1 4552557 Have seen them in Rona and Lowe's this season. Generic chimneys are OK, too. Mon Mar 30 17:27:07 -0700 2009 4552396 16382 Kagemusha 2 4552576 Generics are OK, I used one but it rusted out in four or five years. I got the Weber last year and its performance (i.e. capacity, and speed) was noticeably better. More rust proof and better build all around. No rust after one full year on the job. Mon Mar 30 17:34:32 -0700 2009 4552557 56131 jayt90 1 4552586 You can get the Weber chimney starter at Home Hardware on Roncesvalles. Mon Mar 30 17:37:25 -0700 2009 4552396 162182 A flock of seagulls 2 4553739 Yup. I just called and they're in stock. Thanks for the help. It's grillin' time!

It's a heating element with a plug that sits in the charcoal until the coals are ready, then take it out, unplug it and let it cool. The advantage is you completely avoid any chemical influence, whether from starter or paper. Mon Mar 30 17:58:47 -0700 2009 4552396 80671 Snarf 2 4552879 Home Hardware on Bayview south of Eglinton sells Weber accessories. I too,used to use an electric starter but the chimney is easy, quick and all weather (starters are not good in the rain and I hated the need for an extension cord). Mon Mar 30 19:06:52 -0700 2009 4552659 219915 tuttebene 1 4552689 I have had many weber starters. I have given all away now. The best thing I have found is a brush burner connected to a 5 gallon propane tank. I get them at Harbor Freight, Home Depot has them also. Charcoal gets going in 2-3 minutes, I also use it to clean off the grill. Fast, 250,000 BTU's of roaring flame that will cremate anything in minutes. Mon Mar 30 18:06:37 -0700 2009 4552396 148886 duck833 2 4552874 Brush burners rock, I have used one for about 5 years and there is nothing that will start a charcoal BBQ faster in my opinion. It can be a bit messy though from the air flow it puts out. Chimneys are the next best option - they do the best job at getting the charcoal lit quickly and evenly - the Weber one is solid as well as the one put out by grill pro which are available at most home hardware (if not they can order one in for you) or home depot stores. Ontario Gas BBQ would be my first choice though as it is a wicked store to visit and they know what they are talking about. Do not buy ready light charcoal Mon Mar 30 19:05:09 -0700 2009 4552689 222256 BusterRhino 3 4552962 Ready light charcoal is not charcoal. Highly noxious narsty stuff. We could digress here..... Mon Mar 30 19:40:07 -0700 2009 4552874 80671 Snarf 1 4553479 I didn't notice what make it was and since it was Wal-Mart I'll go out on a limb and say it wasn't a Webber but there chimney starters at the Warden/Eglinton location. If you don't have one, pick one up. They're great. Unless you have a flame thrower that is. DT Tue Mar 31 04:32:44 -0700 2009 4552396 11291 Davwud
