Not worth the price April 5, 2008

I purchased one for the extra capacity but wish I had not given my smaller one to my brother-in-law. Within a year the middle had burned completly through and the device was useless. Going back to the $15 dollar ones that last forever.

I wish some reviews had been posted for this when I purchased it 6 months ago! I bought it for the extra capacity and the feeling that the extra money would bring a heavier gauge steel...wrong. Pass up on this and stick to the sub $20 ones that last 2+ years of heavy use. Mine is a piece of garbage now...great concept, poor follow through.

Price without Quality September 24, 2006

Bought this starter at BBQ's Galore for it's large capacity and hefty feel. After three uses the rivets popped out of the sides that hold the grate, I assume from the weight of a full load of charcoal and high heat. The "heat resistant paint" flaked off and the inside rusted despite a dry summer in San Diego. The bottom sagged, I had to drill and screw sheet metal screws into the bottom grate to get a few more uses from this ill made expensive mistake. I borrowed a friends Weber that he's had for 5 years and it is a much better product. The chimmeny effect does work but barely with this poorly designed product. Get the Weber, I just ordered mine from Amazon. I may buy three (BBQ Gifts) for the price of this wretched device.

Well we've only used it once so far but I was a bit disappointed. As soon as I got it I noticed that the black paint scratched off. Also, the handle doesn't stay cool as advertised. It did heat the charcoal well so I can't complain too much I guess. I also like the fact that it's a square container instead of a cylindar for controlling the coals. But for the price I expected a little more.
