I wish Weber made a smaller one because the quality of theirs is very good.
I usually don't fill my small chimney all the way, so a Weber would be way too big for my use.

I'm with you on this Martin.

I turn mine upside down and fill it about half way when I use my UDS.
 
Used to be able to get Diamond strike anywhere matches around here but I haven't been able to find them for several years...

Our local supermarket (HEB) carries Diamond brand. I learned the hard way that they carry both the strike-anywhere and the strike-on-the-box kind. You ain't had fun until you fish around in your pocket for matches that won't strike on the fire laid out for lunch when you've been fishin' since before the rooster crowed.

I was about to swear at - and off - Diamond brand until I picked up the box the next time and saw that it was the strike-on-box kind. Now I have about 20 boxes of the strike anywhere in doubled zipped bags in the freezer in plastic containers. So far I've seen no sign of them absorbing moisture.
 

I use the side burner on my Char-Griller for 30 to 60 seconds, then it's good on it's own.



I suppose you noticed my "slight modification". Yeah, I can't leave anything alone.



This helps me get the coals right where I want them when adding into the big smoker.
It acts as a back board when filling the chimney also!


I love that idea!!!!!

I like your idea too - looks really handy!
 
Since I mostly burn real wood in my grill I use a propane torch.

BUT when I do use charcoal it goes in a chimney.

I think my project for next week while on vacation will be home made charcoal.....
