Charcoal Starter

[Oysterpot]

This could go in the cooking section, but it is "gear" so I chose this thread.

For folks that have limited space to store stuff this, I think is a winner.

pros:
Folds flat (the video doesn't show the handle laying flat when folded up, but it does)
Stainless steel
Works faster than other chimneys
large capacity (can start enough charcoal to cook with a 16" dutch oven)

Cons:
A little on the expensive side.

Jenn,

I have one of these too. Heavy, but worth while because folds flat.
Did George share the funny story how he learned to keep it from collapsing while using?
