Found this Cuisinart charcoal chimney set the other day, and with the good weather today I dusted of the old charcoal kettle grill and made some great steaks. This is easily one of the best values I’ve picked up at SAM’s recently. You’re not just getting a high-performing chimney starter ( this lite up with just two pieces of junk mail really quick). In this set you’re getting a complete, safer grilling setup and with the bonus heat-resistant gloves included under $20. That alone makes this a smart Sam’s Club purchase. Performance verdict = Excellent. Got cooking coals, fully lit and ready in under 15 minutes with no lighter fluid so no chemical smell in your food. The cylinder air flow design insides works perfectly to get consistent even heat. Has a quality feel, strong %26 durable construction-handle stayed cool enough to manage safely. Using the gloves, you can confidently pour hot coals without worrying about burning arm hair. For the price and the added value of the gloves, this is a no-brainer. See you on the grilling tour this summer!.

Just getting into charcoal cooking and this made getting started super easy. It helps get the coals going quickly without a lot of effort, which is great when you're still learning. The heat-resistant gloves are a nice bonus and make handling everything feel safer and more comfortable.

Purchased this as a gift for an avid griller and it was a great choice. The set feels well made and thoughtfully put together, especially with the included heat‑resistant gloves. It was nicely packaged and seems like a practical, useful addition for anyone who enjoys charcoal grilling. Would recommend as a great gift idea for Father's Day.
