## Description

Fire-up your smoker twice as fast with the Oklahoma Joe's® Halftime XL Charcoal Starter. Designed to get you smoking quicker than other starters, this works perfectly with either briquettes or lump. Additionally, the handle on this charcoal starter withstands heat, remaining cool-to-the-touch when using.

Review: different is definitely better. The large diameter separates it from other starters - This starter lives up to its claims. All starters like the Weber Chimney and the others work very well. I’ve had one for years that I wouldn’t grill without. There are tons of reviews for those other products explaining the benefit of using a starter. In this case, though, the large diameter separates it from other starters. Different is definitely better. It does light faster when you use the same amount of charcoal as you would in a typical starter. It also lets you use a lot more charcoal when you want to make a bigger fire. That’s a very nice feature. But the reason I really like the larger diameter is because I can use this starter as a mini-grill. I light it like normal with it sitting in my kettle grill. When the coals are ready, I don’t dump them out. I have a small grate that sits on top of the starter. I can quickly cook a couple of steaks right over the screaming hot fire. Then I close the grill, the fire goes out, and I save the coals for next time. This method sears the meat as well as a restaurant, and better than I’ve ever seen on a home gas or charcoal grill. I don’t need no stinking grill marks when the whole steak has a nice brown crust. I can do this on my old starter, but it's so small I can only do one at a time. It also works quite well for fish, pork chops, and burgers, and it’s great for finishing if you use a sous-vide cooker. You can also cook flank steak right on the coals if you want. My trusty old Weber Chimney has been replaced.
Review: gets goin" quick - Lots to like about this product, fast lighting, large capacity, and seemingly well built. I toss three tumbleweeds under it and stand back, that chases any mosquito's away I'll tell you. Cooking for a group, this is a great BBQ tool to have on your side.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know the diameter of the starter?**
A: This Half-Time Charcoal Starter has a 10" diameter.

**Q: I need the measurement for outer diameter of the chimney with 1/16" accuracy.  I am trying to see if 10.25" round grate would fit. Thanks in advance**
A: It is not entirely concentric due to slight flexibility, but it is 10". I have a 10.25" stainless fire grate which sits atop the chimney but have not determined exactly how to attach it.  Unfortunately, the grate will not fit inside or outside the chimney perimeter. Amazon's "uxcell 2.87-inch SUS304 Stainless Steel Draw Toggle Latch with Spring-Steel Hook - 3 Pcs" should do the trick, since I don't weld.

**Q: where is this manufactured?**
A: This Half-Time Charcoal Starter is manufactured in China.

**Q: how many inches from the bottom to where the briquets sit? The gap under neither**
A: its about 2 inches from the bottom tray were the charcoal sits to the bottom of the starter can.
