The charcoal starter really held a lot of coals and the tube to insert the fire starter was a nice touch, but what really makes this product is the portable fan that you can buy that plugs right into this thing. My full chimney of coals were ready to spread in about 10 minutes. Alternatively I also hooked this fan up to my side firebox and used it to circulate the air when I added more coals to the fire. This kept my temps at a constant level and really made long cooks easier. Highly recommended by myself for backyard bbquer's and anyone who uses charcoal chimneys. Review: At-Home Blast Furnace - As you can probably tell from the photos: it's a charcoal chimney with a twist - it has tube in the base. The idea is you take a source of forced air, intended to be the BBQ Dragon fan but it could be about anything, and blow air through the tube and thus up through the charcoal. i.e. you're creating a mini coal-powered blast furnace at home. The forced air makes the charcoal start much faster. As a chimney *without* the BBQ Dragon or other fan/forced air source: zero advantage over the average one you find at the hardware store. A little nicer, and with cool lettering. But it won't do any better at lighting your charcoal. As a chimney *with* the BBQ Dragon or similar: GAME CHANGER. This chimney plus the BBQ Dragon on max blast really does light your coals to the point you can cook on them in 5 minutes or less. That means BBQ, steaks on the grill, smores, whatever in much less time. For best results: * use the chimney first with the BBQ Dragon as instructed * use the Dragon on max for about 2 minutes. You're instructed to not go longer because you can damage the chimney, or even melt it. I believe it. I left it on for 2-3 minutes and burned off the anti-rust coating on the dragon. Why? Remember what I said earlier: at-home BLAST FURNACE. It's not a joke * pour out the coals in layers. The bottom half are completely lit and blazing hot. The top coals are partly to completely unlit - the base gets too hot. So get a layer of unlit coals on the bottom, then top with a layer of lit coals as you pour out * then take the BBQ Dragon fan (or whatever you're using) and blow on the coals for another 1-2 minutes. In practice you stop because the heat coming off of blown coals starts burning our hand. I reiterate: BLAST FURNACE. In total this process takes about 5 minutes if you have all the materials at hand. Alternatives to the BBQ Dragon: I consider the fan to be the weak point of this setup because it costs an eye-watering $60. If you're getting an upscale gift for a grill enthusiast it's worth it. Otherwise there has to be a better way. And I think there is: LEAF BLOWER. * loosely place paper into the hole/tube and light it * point the leaf blower on low toward the hole, the fire will quickly propagate to the rest of the paper an on through and up the tube to light the coals * as the paper burns down (this happens quick, especially under forced air) get the blower closer to the hole and turn up the power * you'll know when the coals are ready about 1-2 minutes later just the same as with the BBQ dragon: fire spitting out the top * you REALLY know when it's ready when the side walls of the chimney start glowing a dull red. Because I repeat for the final time: BLAST FURNACE. Don't have a leaf blower? Use the hair dryer. The wife might try to kill you, but you're now armed with hot coals. I give you a 50/50 chance of survival. Honestly, it's worth the $40 just for a pre-made mini blast furnace. So much fun. PARTING WARNING: forced air through lit charcoal = a volcano of sparks. Part of the fun. But if you're in an area with high fire risk and lots of dry tinder easily set on fire with sparks, this is NOT a good idea. Test at home for sure before taking it camping. Kingsford charcoal seems to spark less, while Fogo charcoal (way better than Kingsford for cooking btw) seems to be about 20% charcoal and 100% made of sparks. I know that adds up to more than 100%; that's how extra the sparks are. ## Features - FIRE UP YOUR GRILL IN RECORD TIME: The BBQ Dragon Charcoal Chimney Starter quickly lights your charcoal, getting your grill to the perfect temperature faster, so you can start cooking in minutes, not hours. - BUILT TO ENDURE HIGH HEAT: Made with premium, heat-resistant materials, this chimney starter can withstand frequent use and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance every time. - ACHIEVE CONSISTENT HEAT FOR PERFECT GRILLING: Designed for even heat distribution, this charcoal chimney ensures your grill reaches a balanced temperature, giving you perfectly cooked food with no hot spots. - PERFECT FOR ANY OUTDOOR OCCASION: Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, tailgating, or camping, this versatile starter works seamlessly with any grill, making it the ultimate outdoor grilling companion. - EFFORTLESS AND SAFE TO USE FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS: Simplify your grilling experience with a user-friendly design that’s safe and easy to operate, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced grill masters. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08PQ1KYF2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #117,087 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #129 in Charcoal Starters | | Brand Name | BBQ Dragon | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,315) | | Flavor | Mesquite | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00855942007217 | | Item Form | Tablet | | Item Weight | 4.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | BBQ Dragon | | Manufacturer Part Number | BBQD101 | | Material Type | Wax | | Model Number | BBQD101 | | UPC | 855942007217 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BBQ Dragon - **Flavor:** Mesquite - **Item Form:** Tablet - **Item Weight:** 4.7 Pounds - **Material:** Wax ## Images ![BBQ Dragon - Charcoal Chimney Starter for Coal Grill (Extra Large) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kyQzzP4KL.jpg) ![BBQ Dragon - Charcoal Chimney Starter for Coal Grill (Extra Large) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Il4ytHRKL.jpg) ![BBQ Dragon - Charcoal Chimney Starter for Coal Grill (Extra Large) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HPVa5CuLL.jpg) ![BBQ Dragon - Charcoal Chimney Starter for Coal Grill (Extra Large) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91koS9tu50L.jpg) ![BBQ Dragon - Charcoal Chimney Starter for Coal Grill (Extra Large) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oXdjMMslL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Product - Highly Recommended! *by A***Y on May 6, 2019* This product worked great!

It works really well. It rained and it rusted a little bit. I did a video about an alternative to the $60 BBQ Dragon fan a lot of people are complaining about. ## Frequently Bought Together - BBQ Dragon - Charcoal Chimney Starter for Coal Grill (Extra Large) - BBQ Dragon Charcoal Fan - Cordless Grill Fan for Camping, Fireplace, and Smokers - Heavy Duty BBQ Air Blower with Adjustable Clamp - Portable Fire Blower for Fireplace and Campfire - BBQ Dragon Round Grill Grate – 9” Stainless Steel BBQ Grill Grate with Wood Handle – Heavy-Duty Charcoal Grill Grate & Cooking Grate – Perfect Grill Rack for Outdoor Grill, Fire Pit & Chimney Starters --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/254203523-bbq-dragon-charcoal-chimney-starter-for-coal-grill-extra-large](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/254203523-bbq-dragon-charcoal-chimney-starter-for-coal-grill-extra-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
