First try...
They burn clean and 2 is probably overkill for a standard chimney. They have a higher/bigger flame than Weber cubes. I'm impressed. Thanks jzadski!

The Weber cubes don't do that.

Follow up. I used one of these starters to light my chimney and it worked great with very little smoke. I will buy more of these for chimney starting.

My store showed them in stock too and I had no luck finding them. I’ve bought them there before but they weren’t where they normally are. The store was an absolute mess so I left and ordered online. Got two boxes for the same shipping price as one. Should be good for a while now.

The store I went to had them in the back. I had to ask someone to find them.

Unfortunately it seems free shipping is no longer an option. Bumber

I have used and preferred them for years over the Weber cubes.

No white wax bits of Weber cubes, or tin foil, all over the patio.

Slightly harder to light in a moderate wind but nothing a little squirt of hand sanitizer wont fix!

I use 3-4 make-up removal pads, as they fit perfectly inside. Unfortunately, I’m having a hard time finding alcohol with everybody making their own hand sanitizer, so I’m back to using Weber starters.
