Bbq in itself !

I had my charcoal really pumping In this large volume chimney before cooking rotisserie chickens. The chimney is big and heavy but the handles make it easy to carry and pour from.

Last chimney you'll ever buy..

Jebus this thing is a tank. Well made, massive capacity and works as it should. I decided to season it while I was seasoning the Burger Smasher, so it now has a weathered look and matches the smasher.

Work of art

Beautifully made and I reckon it will outlast me. Cheers

Made to last

Very well made and I won’t be worried about coals dropping through the bottom of the chimney any time soon.

Built like a Tank

This is the best chimney starter I’ve ever owned. I can’t see how I’ll ever wear it out. Awesome bit of kit.

Smashing Burger Smasher!

Very nice piece of BBQ equipment. Followed the seasoning instructions and works a treat. Also, due to the cool touch spring on handle, the burger smasher can be left on the hot plate while cooking.

The kettle cone is a fantastic product. Quality product and made to last and opens up so many cooking options on the weber kettle. Great local company. Do yourself a favour and purchase one as you will not regret it. Delivery is super quick.

Solid Grill Grates For The Weber Go Anywhere (GA)

Didn’t like the original grate that came with the Weber GA , so Wes from Smokey BBQ Bits reached out and suggested these steel ones. Absolutely blown away with how well they season and how very fairly priced they are. Will always go back to them now for any future purchases. Great company.
