As a child I remember my grandpa having something like this made from old coffee cans and a drawer handle. Then I saw these in stores decade later and realized what we missed out on. Original patents for the idea go back to the 60s (I think) but there is a bit of shoulda woulda coulda that lingers. lol

Thx. I have the regular size. It's a must. Doing separate batches aren't ideal.

To add to this. The full size version won best chimney starter in a head to head on America's Test Kitchen. They liked the sturdy handle, the helper handle, and capacity.

I did drill extra holes on mine for that reason.

It says it does indeed.

"Get adventurous with your cooking with the easy-to-carry, easy-to-store Weber® Go-Anywhere® Charcoal Grill. Its clever design fits cooking tools, compact chimney starter and drip trays conveniently and securely inside making it easier to bring great charcoal-grilled flavor to campsites, tailgates and outdoor events"

Now that you had me look at this, I might get both. I just sent my jumbo joe to pasture, and was looking to replace with either a Smokey joe or another jumbo, but since this is for car camping, these might be the better fit, literally...

Jumbo Joe was a dream grill though... Decisions decisions 😜

Walmart brand Expert Grill version is like 9.88 everyday pricing and the lowest I've seen from any brands. Works just as well. There's no need to over-engineer this and paying more.

I've thrown out 2-3 out of the off brands because they don't hold up as well as the Weber. If you use it often the Weber is worth the price difference.
