## Description

The Chimney of Insanity from BBQ Dragon is an advanced charcoal chimney that is faster and easier to use than old-style chimneys. Inside this innovative chimney is a 90 DEGREE ELBOW that sticks out one side. This SIDE HOLE allows you insert fuel or lighter material without lifting the chimney. Plus, the vent actually creates a TURBO EFFECT, which lights the charcoal faster. The reason we call it the Chimney of Insanity? You can insert a BBQ Dragon in the side hole, and it turns the chimney into an insane charcoal BLAST FURNACE. The Chimney of Insanity can also be used like a normal chimney - just stuff newspaper in the bottom and light as usual. Additional newspaper can then be inserted in the side hole when the first newspaper burns down. Fire-starters like wax sticks, packets, or cubes work GREAT in the side hole, much better than with a normal chimney. The side hole creates a draft when used with fire-starters, lighting the charcoal faster Using a fan like the BBQ Dragon in the side hole reduces the start time to MINUTES! You can also just blow into the hole to help get the coals started faster. High-quality construction, full heat-shield, nylon handle. Plus, it's designed to be the best-looking and best-working chimney you've ever owned: CHIMNEY FEATURES: Internal 90 degree elbow Insert fuel from the side Works great with wax fire starters Can be used with a BBQ Dragon fan to speed lighting Full-length heat shield Beautiful design and styling High-quality construction Can be used as a forced-air grill for SUPER-HIGH temperatures

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use newspaper as a fuel to light the charcoal with this chimney?**
A: Why is that not addressed in any of the product directions or advertising? It seems a great selling point with the economics alone and what I look for when purchasing one.

**Q: How many pounds of Kingsford charcoal will this thing to hold?**
A: 2-3lbs

**Q: Made in usa?**
A: Yes it’s the official bbq dragon not a knock off I enjoy it and it’s a small amount of charcoal good to grill for a small family if your planing on grilling for a party I would suggest the Weber chimney it can light up slot more I have both

**Q: Do you need the bbq dragon fan for this to work properly?**
A: I didn't try it without the fan... It's construction is similar to the regular chimneys I use, but I don't know that there's any advantage to using it with no blower. I'm sold on the BBQ Dragon and have used mine for more than 2 years before I saw this new chimney. It's easy to use & recharge and does a great job of stoking a fire or getting coals fired up when they start to die out. If you grill or barbecue much at all, buy the BBQ Dragon ( and chimney ), you can't go wrong.
