Convenient Usage
Most customers have had positive experiences with the convenient usage of the charcoal starter, praising its ability to work effectively as advertised and making charcoal starting a breeze. However, some users have noted that the cord is too short for their preference.
Fast Charcoal Ignition
Customers generally have positive opinions about the fast ignition of the Charcoal Companion Electric Charcoal Starter, stating that it eliminates the need for gas or flammables to get their charcoal started and heats up quickly. Some customers also appreciate its convenience and ease of use, as well as the absence of lighter fluid odor in their food. However, a small group of purchasers mentioned that the starter's cord is quite short and suggested using an extension cord for better reach.
Highlights
Quality
Good quality, works well , just what i needed for a new smoker
I can have this grill ready to sear steaks at 600 degrees in about ten minutes now thanks to the quick lighting of this gadget!
I never cared for cubes, wax, or mystery wafer shaped lighting products because the grill took forever to come up to temperature.
Used it once, worked well, and then threw out the grill, because it was just so crappy.
Price
Exactly what we needed and cost effective.
Competitiveness
Hubby has one of those chimney style which he prefers but for me, there is no comparison to this style.

Of course from experience i wont know how truly good it is until ive run it for several months to see if it burns out prematurely but this gives all indications of being a good one my previous one from a different maker failed after about 5 uses
