Patio Daddio BBQ - Musings of barbecue, cooking, and life -- served hot, fresh and saucy

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the mack daddio heavyweight chimney champion of the world. It's made by Chesterfield and it's a brute at 18 inches tall, 8 inches in diameter and 6 pounds! As one of my barbecue buddies said, you could almost leave the cooker at home and just cook on this thing.

I ran across this strictly by accident at a local Sportsman's Warehouse store. Here's the kicker... It was only $19.99 and that was not a sale price. There is absolutely no contest when you stack this bad boy up against the $15 Weber chimney. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Weber, but I am really tired of burning through their chimneys like President Obama burns through teleprompters.

If you have a Sportsman's Warehouse in your area, stop reading this and call them to see if they have one of these. If so, buy it and thank me later. Better yet, buy all they have and sell them at double the price at your next competition.

Afterthought: Who knew that China is a hot bed of barbeque?

Note: I have scoured the internet for other sources for this chimney, but not only did I not find anyone selling them, I couldn't even find any information on the manufacturer.
