Pretty neat, ideal for the WSM users and the Minion method or for a Smokey Joe user, I just want one!!!!!!

If,like me you use two starters,then this unit looks ideal. Price in the UK seems to be a universal £11.69.

If it lasts as long as the full size starter it will be a good buy. Has to last longer than the homebase unit lol

checked the price at WoW,amazon And bedsbbq.

What are you guys using for the tube in the minion method? I can't seem to find anything like the recommended coffee can! Any recommendations?

I popped into a local cafe and they were more than happy to give me a large baked bean can which works a treat, they even washed it out for me.

Keith as always you are a font of knowledge and inspired genius! Thanks very much for the idea :) I think I should at least make a trip to the local cafe, for the bean tin only of course.. not a full english, no not me.

My dinky little chimney starter turned up last night, will hopefully get to use it this weekend, it's quite a bit smaller than the regular one and appears to have same build quality, should be perfect for my Smokey Joe and WGA.

It' been released to coincide with the release of the Jumbo Joe.

I'm thinking of getting a JJ for when I'm just doing quick burgers or kebabs barbecue for me, Me Julie and the bins. Don't need all 57cm and a large chimney full of coals for that.

Similar reason to why we bought the SoH clone
