John Lewis Stainless Steel BBQ Chimney Starter with Bamboo Handle

An easy way to get your barbecue fired up, this chimney starter is made of durable stainless steel with a bamboo handle.

Simply fill the chimney with charcoal briquettes, place crumpled newspaper or fire starters under the cylinder and set it in your barbecue. To start the fire, light a long match and place it through the holes at the bottom and within five to then minutes the charcoals should be hot. When the top ones turn a grey ash colour, gently pour the coals into your grill.

Worth knowing: Always use a barbecue mitt or gloves when moving the starter to and from a heat source.
