Here's my two testers, and they ain't any better.Besides, how can you not love this face? This is Brahms. If you meet him, he will claim to be the official Smoke/BBQ taste tester, but he lies. Just so you know.

If they aren’t precious I don’t know what is. :)
Thanks…I’ve had one (two overlapped) from the beginning. It’s the chimney, not the BGE. Those embers can have a mind of their own when I empty the chimney into the egg. Maybe it’s just the way I use (misuse?) it.Thinking you need some kind of non-combustible mat underneath the BGE then... Especially under the firebox door area ...
I ended up buying the JJGeorge Grill Torch Charcoal Starter from Amzon and a box of Tumbleweed starters. This works much better and faster for than using a chimney starter.Thanks…I’ve had one (two overlapped) from the beginning. It’s the chimney, not the BGE.

We have a stone patio which would solve that issue, but it’s not very level. I think I may just try a butane torch. The one I have is really meant for soldering (it’s a Dremel Soldering torch), so I may just get a proper BBQ torch and try that.
Very Nice! You got your money's worth out of that one!Thinking mines at least twenty years plus. Been rebuilt multiple times and keeps going. Don't even remember brand but know its/was heavy gauge, still original wood handle.View attachment 644286View attachment 644287
Now that I have used the torch for several months, I think it’s a far better solution than a chimney. It’s been brilliant. No fuss, easy and faster to get started, and no escaped burning embers to worry about. I don’t think I’ll ever use a chimney again.I ended up buying the JJGeorge Grill Torch Charcoal Starter from Amzon and a box of Tumbleweed starters.
