For some unknown reason, I have made but for years and decades to the charcoal starter a bow.
Probably the sheer arrogance owed à la "I do not ..brauch, I get the coals even so to glow ..." (which is also the facts corresponds).
So I sat there and bummed around in front of the Amazon page, studied eagerly the "toys" of WEBER and stumbled again about this product. On an impulse I pressed just once the "Buy" button.
Probably from skeptical curiosity or to confirm the rest of the community grill after buying that it works just as well without the fireplace or even better.
One must also admit that this is a WEBER product is that you can certainly dub as inexpensive. This makes the purchasing decision a little easier then.
Lieferrung by Prime nartürlich was fast and on time.
No packaging delusion.
The product makes a solid and very well-made impression.
Na dann mal los..ab on the grill machine.
At the first attempt I have the tube not completely filled to the top. This charge is sufficient but loosely around two to fill it: 7403 Weber charcoal baskets, Char Basket, set of 2 De Luxe.
Anzündwürfel underneath the annealing curious marveled. Initially went to the eye from really little visible and spectacular. Slight disappointment (and confirmation of my old, grouped opinion) took hold.
However, after a few minutes entwicklte a "Hellfire" and chased formally the embers up. You could track properly as the coals from the bottom up to the classic "gray veil" got.
Overall, these Gluthölle opened for about 25 minutes in front of me, then I judged the matter as settled and ready for use.
The plastic handle was slightly warm, you could touch him loose without gloves. The second metal grip requires as even more heat protection on the hand. This thing is very practical and makes easier filling of coal baskets significantly.
I have to say .... it was amazing .... MEGA.
Of course I brought in another way, the white-hot coal, but the glow from the fireplace was once really HOT. Clean pulled through and uniformly hot.
I was thrilled and I've bitten in the ass that I have waited so long with the purchase in the spirit.
In another experiment I needed relatively little coal, so filled only about one-third of the fireplace. No problem. Everything as usual. Clean Glutbild.
Conclusion: Never again without.
PS: A little warning (experience of a friend).
He has asked the chimney to fill the coal grate. Here a few Fitzel coal him have gone wrong and left lying on the grate. The heat that originated these carbon particles have also inflamed and have migrated close to the plastic handle. Now he has only half a plastic handle ... the other half was destroyed by fire (embers)
In this sense ..... Happy BBQ
