(More customer reviews)This starter does precisely what it is intended to do. It starts coals quicker and easier than the conventional method. Nothing more, nothing less.
After twenty-five uses, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. But I am a little concerned about durability. One concern is that it is starting to rust. I keep it outdoors but it is not exposed to the elements. I don't know if this is common with charcoal starters, but I don't expect to get another season out of it as the rust is progressing rapidly.
Another concern is with the handle. While it was tight and secure for the first dozen uses or so, It has now loosened up. The rivets seem secure, but the handle wobbles. Not a good feeling when you are handling hot coals.
The heat shield and wooden handle effectively work together so that you could use your bare hand, but I still recommend using a high quality glove or mitten as the supports on the handle get very hot.
Overall, it's not a bad starter, but it does have a couple of issues that would prevent me from buying another one. If you have the money, consider spending a little more for a starter from a better known company. Otherwise, expect to get about a season of use out of this one.
