Reduced from £9.99 (and still selling for £9.99 in homebase - UPDATE NOW £4.50 at homebase too)
Ideal for those wanting a cheaper alternative to more expensive options such as the Weber version (approx £20).
If you've not seen these in action then do a quick YouTube search
Would recommend buying a couple if you plan to BBQ for a few people as they're only really big enough for smaller parties

surely you would just use one of these to get the BBQ started (early) then just add a bit more fuel if you need it bigger, I thought that was the idea of these? I had a cheap Tesco one last year and that's all I done, wouldn't of thought you would ever need more than one

depends on the size of your bbq and how you wish to operate - I would agree with Op stuysmith

We had an all day/evening BBQ a few weeks back, 20+ people using a Weber 57 Kettle and a small chimney starter like this was fine. You could just add more coals to the BBQ itself but in order to keep temp high we would use the chimney starter every time a top up was needed and add to the existing ones once ready. I can't really see the advantage of the bigger ones unless you are perhaps cooking whole chickens/big meat joints or perhaps cooking burgers and hot dogs at a commercial level.

I'm not exactly sure what it does but 4.99 sounds pretty cheap so heated.

These are great. I have one and use it with my small Weber. I only fill it to about 2/3 and it is plenty.

Looks like an overpriced baked bean tin mug

Some people do use the giant catering size tins with holes drilled in.

Yep and voting due to being scared of any change is why half the people voted remain. I'm a remain voter and even I think this comment is stupid.

I did wonder, just seen too many of these comments today I think. It's Poe's Law all over.
