🔥 Frequently Asked Questions

How does a charcoal chimney work?
A chimney starter holds charcoal above a fire chamber. Newspaper or firelighters under the base create heat and airflow that lights the coals evenly in 15–20 minutes.

Why use a chimney instead of lighter fluid?
Chimneys eliminate the need for chemicals, giving you a cleaner, more natural charcoal flavor with no aftertaste.

What size chimney should I choose?

  • Full-size chimney – Best for Weber kettles, larger grills, and long cooks.

  • Mini chimney – Perfect for quick grilling sessions or portable BBQ setups.

How long does it take to light charcoal?
On average, about 15 minutes. Once the top coals are glowing red, they’re ready to pour into your BBQ.

Are Smokey BBQ Bits chimneys Australian-made?
Yes ✅ Our chimneys are designed in Australia and manufactured in both Australia and the USA using heavy-duty steel. They’re built to outlast the cheap, thin imports you’ll find elsewhere.
