I really like your shirt, Kingsford looked like the surface of the moon.

[@theresiawilliams3276]

Ive heard that the 2nd chimney starter is rubbish by another channel due to it not having enough holes but you could drill extra ones in if you wanted to.

[@mariaelisakevin1]

Before I knew Weber had one I snatched up one at Walmart for $9.99. I have been using it for over a year with great results; no problems. I have recommended it to a lot of people.

[@gottfriedschimann7672]

A new video! Ilike it! Tipp: I use an natural egg carton to fire on, without oil, ... Does a great job. And also i use the coconut and the collapsable chimney for 2 1/2 year. For me the best couple. Greetings from Germany!

[@robertdooley4109]

Thanks for the videos! I just bought the Weber 7447 compact rapid fire last week. It’s the perfect size for Dutch oven cooks and the Lodge sportsman’s grill. Just not as portable as the Camp Maid.

[@FelipeGuevaraV]

Very informative video! You should definitely try out the Easy Flow Smokers charcoal chimney starters, I got mine not long ago and man does it go! Definitely made to last and made in good old Texas!

[@TexasStyleCuisine]

Good comparison. I do love my CampMaid starter and that coconut charcoal does work great.

[@jerrycoon4504]

That campmaid starter looks like a quality piece. I have the big weber chimney and I always feel like it's a little too big for dutch oven stuff. Unless you're using more than one DO. I was very impressed with the campmaid charcoal. I might have to try that out.Really looked like you would get more time out of it. Great comparison.

[@chrissewell1608]

Good informative video! We will use the newer, smaller, Weber Chimney Starter when camping. It is easier to travel with, but does not collapse, or fit inside a 12" Dutch Oven. I'd like to see a comparison of the smaller Weber versus the Campmaid chimney starters, next.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Thank you for informing us on the new compact Weber Chimney Starter. I just put that up on our Amazon Store. We will have to get one of those and compare it with the Campmaid. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@scottholloway2516]

If you're doing an experiment/ comparison you can't have two variables. Use the same charcoal for each chimney. You can't do both at the same time. Different charcoal and different chimneys. It doesn't work that way.

[@ChipsOutdoorChannel]

I've done a test with Kingsford Professional and Royal Oak lump. I've hope to do some more testing in the future. I would have liked to know the temperatures of each. Otherwise, I enjoyed seeing your results! Nice job!

[@BottomThe]

It’s a shame you didn’t put the same coal in all the chimneys. Pretty pointless video to be honest. Each coal should have had a chance to try all three chimneys for a more accurate test.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

We will doing that on a follow up with comparisons of chimney starters only.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

The point of the video was to show the products. This was not a scientific experiment. Thanks for watching.

[@BottomThe]

Backwoods Gourmet Channel u said at the start of your video it’s to compare the six items.

[@MM-cs2rt]

BottomThe you’re an ass

[@irishenterprisesllc7414]

@@MM-cs2rt And you're a jerk.

[@lornaz1975]

I have had the cheap chimney starter since around August of 2016 and its still in good condition. I am sure you grill more than I but I do grill and it has been used.

[@kellybearden5697]

You are doing something right. 67 likes and zero dislikes. You are a quality.

[@manbeastx69]

Weber Charcoal (standard not the long burning )goes on sale around the 4th of July,they bundle two bags together and charge the same price of just one bag so I always stock up when they run that sale.

[@patricksquires77]

So… on the Webber… what is the flappy wire for?

[@timpease9691]

Have you ever tried Kingsford Professional charcoal? Thoughts?

[@nunyabiznis817]

That CampMaid chimney needs larger holes on the sides so that the coals are ready faster. The holes are about half the size they need to be. A thicker handle is needed, too. It would be a pretty awesome chimney if they modified those 2 things alone.

[@Ladybrite1]

found the campmaid for 29.99 at Amazon. Thanks for the info; think I'll buy me one.

[@jackieshine9765]

You are a bbq pro! I enjoy learning from you bcz you know what you are talking about! I think you're cool and would love to go fishing and camping with your family bcz I'm sure you would teach me a lot about both!

[@2Can-Dan]

Awesome video. Lotta good info there. Which would you recommend for a long smoke...brisket etc?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

Stubbs hands down.

[@chrism6904]

Can charcoal be used multiple times? Or is it a one-time use type of deal?

[@nobat6351]

They burn up into ash

[@NewEnglandLyle]

I'm thinking the coconut stuff took longer because of the less surface area exposed to the initial flame. It is a smaller chimney, so the coals are stacked up on each other, rather than more spread out like the ones in the Webber. I don't really worry about start time, but burn time, BTUs and flavor. Does the coconut stuff give good flavor?

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

The coconut charcoal does not impart any flavor. Made for Dutch Oven Cooking.

[@24-7flounderproblem]

really cool comparison/video thanks 👍🍻🎣

[@randywatson8347]

That's a cool well organised test

[@flip2724]

Also the Weber has a larger heat shield, may be why you experience less heat

[@gripeotheday]

Hard to compare the chimneys when they all are running different coal brands…there’s no control for the experiment

[@Mikeywatches]

Cool shirt design

[@mokerconer]

I would have to say you nail the example

[@colstace2560]

Can you put the Dutch oven right on top of the chimney?

[@bullmannn]

col stace i bet thatd work on a rocket stove pretty well

[@truneilson]

You also use less coconut coals to cook with, saves you a bunch of space packing too. Sportsman Warehouse is selling the collapsible for $25 today.

[@snsfabricating]

Or you could just switch to all natural, lump charcoal for everything. Lights faster, burns hotter, last longer & the ash always goes in the compost pile.

[@BackwoodsGourmetChannel]

The kinds that I have tried get too hot and burn out really fast.

[@nunyabiznis817]

Actually, lump coal is not made to last long, it's made to burn hot.

[@salvatoreraber19]

Is it really a valid test if you do not start each charcoal in each chimney?

[@jellybryce7742]

love stubbs chicken rub

[@Redridge07]

you cannot judge "time to ready" because you used three different chimneys

[@salvatoreraber19]

Think it is pronounced camp made

[@harrynips1614]

Clean your damn pool lol

[@Mesdriver]

crap

[@davidsanders2511]

Why would you use briquettes its crap use proper lump wood don't get that fuel taste.
