My dad made his chimney starter back in the 60s by taking a 2 lb coffee can and
punching several holes in the bottom of it with the can opener. He would point
the tips downward to allow for more air. He was a pretty inventive guy. I used
to think that everyone lit their charcoal that way.

I have one of them that I made in my travel trailer for use with my tabletop
Weber when we are RVing.
