i never quite understood what that thing was for, i've seen one used but not close up.

"chimmney" is a good name for it, because it works on that principle of pressure differential and an enclosed channel, so it helps light all the charcoal properly before you toss it into your pit

getting it all lit is impossible from a sealed base, you at least need a grill to hold some space for air to rush upwards but a channel as well would make it work so much better.

i'm gonna hold off until i get paid next (in a few days) but i must have one, and then i'm gonna spend a lot more time in my bbq cabinet.
