I can verify this does work as demonstrated.

The blower function on a shopvac works quite well also… especially if you hit the top layer of coals in the chimney with a torch for a few seconds to prime them. I had a full chimney ready to go in 5 minutes with this ‘plan b’ method

Chimney starter on the Side burner on the gas bbq is my go to, no fire lighters needed

Yep! I do this when decided to grill “last minute”, I can get coals red hot and grill up to temp within 10-12 minutes. (Including getting out the charcoal, putting it in canister, etc.)

With a forced hot air blower, you can take them from unlit to this o in just a few minutes!

Zippo makes and pretty handy battery powered bellows that I use in these instances.

If the caveman had a electric blower, the world wouldn’t exist the way we know it today.

It works! just don’t do it in California 😉
My mom laughed at me for doing this, but it works
I’ve done this in my egg many times
Works like a champ
