The charcoal starter is a very useful accessory that makes your barbecue life easier. It allows you to have embers ready in just 20 minutes. No more boring preparations based on pieces of crates and pieces of cardboard. The use could not be simpler. Just place the starter on the grate, fill it with charcoal, and light some newspaper or place a fire starter underneath. The heat effect of the column gives you, after 20 minutes, coal at temperature and perfect embers that you just have to pour into your barbecue. The handle of the fireplace stays cool so you can handle it safely.
