Reviews and returns
What reviews say buyers love and hate about Charcoal Chimney Starter
What buyers praise, what they complain about and why they send it back, from the reviews.
Complain
smaller than expected
nut and bolt too short
Bigger than I expected
Clearly lacking quality control
Bad Manufacturing
does what it says Build quality not the best
Coal fire
the stainless steel gloss burned off
My only concern would be small pieces of charcoal easily fall through the bottom so be aware that if these are lit they could set fire to something
they are galvanised steel so will rust once used a few uses
ridiculous - itis completely rusted
It took me ages to heat coal before
up to temperature
