Oklahoma Joe's 9848125R04 Half-Time Charcoal Starter XL, Brown/A

This starter lives up to its claims. All starters like the Weber Chimney and the others work very well. I’ve had one for years that I wouldn’t grill without. There are tons of reviews for those other products explaining the benefit of using a starter. In this case, though, the large diameter separates it from other starters. Different is definitely better. It does light faster when you use the same amount of charcoal as you would in a typical starter. It also lets you use a lot more charcoal when you want to make a bigger fire. That’s a very nice feature. But the reason I really like the larger diameter is because I can use this starter as a mini-grill. I light it like normal with it sitting in my kettle grill. When the coals are ready, I don’t dump them out. I have a small grate that sits on top of the starter. I can quickly cook a couple of steaks right over the screaming hot fire. Then I close the grill, the fire goes out, and I save the coals for next time. This method sears the meat as well as a restaurant, and better than I’ve ever seen on a home gas or charcoal grill. I don’t need no stinking grill marks when the whole steak has a nice brown crust. I can do this on my old starter, but it's so small I can only do one at a time. It also works quite well for fish, pork chops, and burgers, and it’s great for finishing if you use a sous-vide cooker. You can also cook flank steak right on the coals if you want. My trusty old Weber Chimney has been replaced.

It works fantastically but just realize you're buying what's essentially a small grill itself. If you need to light a LARGE amount of charcoal quickly, absolutely this is what you want but do be aware it's quite big. Like if you need to light 40 or more briquettes at a time, this is what you're after. I've used it with a grill grate over it to sear steaks as well, because really at the end of the day it's just a very small charcoal grill itself. Anyway it works awesome if you often cook for a lot of people, or want to light a mountain of of charcoal fast.

流石に本場アメリカ製です❕️ゴツい。 耐久性評価はこれからですが、造りから想像すると期待できます。 多少バリあり。ここは購入者が処置しましょう。

Perfecto para asadores argentinos o los q no tienen mucha altura. Funciona perfecto👌🏻🤩

Great product at a fair price
