Charcoal Lighter Chimney

Our charcoal lighter chimney is the easiest, quickest & cleanest way to light charcoal for your jiko.  Simply fill the Chimney Starter with your choice of charcoal, place newspaper underneath the grate and light it on fire. The fire rises through the holes in the grate and the “chimney effect” causes the charcoal to light from the bottom all the way up to the top. In just 10 – 20 minutes your charcoal will be hot and ready.

Carefully pour the hot coals into the clay liner of your Cookswell jiko and you are ready to go!
