Generic Charcoal Chimney

what a basic build looks like up close

1

Coated Steel Body

Thin cheap steel with paint or plating coating. Over time, the coating burns off.

2

Coating Breakdown

Coating eventually blister and flake under heat over time. Once it's gone, rust takes over.

3

Potential Health Risk

Burnt coatings and surface oxides end up in the ash zone. Not something you want near your fire or food.

4

Riveted Together

Pressed rivets do the holding. Heat cycles loosen them. Movement follows.

5

Basic Handle Materials

Handles are generally plastic. Heats up. Cracks. Fails over time. Feels lightweight and at times, flimsy.

6

Built to Be Replaced

Rust at the base. Warping at the walls. Usually binned after a season or two.

Pyralit Ignition Unit

built properly, from the start

1

316L* Marine-Grade Stainless Steel

Solid stainless. No coatings. Nothing to burn off. Nothing to fail.

2

Zero Rust Construction

Stainless inside and out. Rain, heat, storage - it doesn't care.

3

Food-Safe by Material

No paints. No plating. Just 316L* stainless around your fire.

*L = low carbon. Ideal for medical, chemical, and food processing applications.

4

Structural Build

Designed as a single unit. Stays tight. Stays straight and has a heavy duty feel.

5

Heat-Isolated Handle System

Built to be handled while working. Controlled. Comfortable. Reliable.

6

Lifetime Warranty

Made to be used hard - forever. If it fails, we fix it. Or replace it.

The Healthier Way to light charcoal

Cheap starters burn coatings, paint, and zinc - sending fumes, flakes, and junk straight into your fire.

Pyralit's Ignition Unit keeps things clean from the initial light-up.

Zero fumes - no coatings, no paint, no zinc to burn off.

No rust, no flakes - nothing breaking down into your fire zone.

Cleaner smoke - cleaner flavour, cleaner air around the grill.

Food-safe stainless - the same grade used in hospitals and breweries.
