Review of BBQ Dragon CHIMNEY OF INSANITY 

I would buy this chimney if it was the same size as the Weber chimney. A full Weber chimney completely fills my two Weber baskets on my 22". The bbq dragon won't fill up my Weber baskets, so I would need 2 bbq dragon, which I can't justify. Nice video tho. I really hope bbq dragon comes iiut with a larger size.

I'm on my second blower because the first one just stopped working. I contacted BBQ customer service and told them my blower stopped working and they replaced it with a new one. When I got the replacement blower I immediately put new batteries in it and guess what IT DIDN'T WORK!!! I played around with it smacked it with my hand twisted the blower neck around and it finally started blowing after bumping it a couple of more times. It started blowing slowly and then finally picked up speed. It has done this numerous times and now it won't blow at all. This thing is a piece of junk and not worth the money they charge for it. I did email customer service about the second blower not working and to date I have not gotten a reply...DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAP!!!

i'm on my way to buy the bbq dragon right now.

Try the jealous double onyx charcoal

Nice review...keep up the good work. Sunday I'm going to test B&B oak lump vs Jealous Devil lump..I"LL share my results on your next post. The one variant is charcoal weight or mass. The Jealous Devil is super hard charcoal.. and I'm waiting for my first bag of B&B

One word WOW.

Weber is better. It DOESN'T Take 30 mins silly 😆 more like 15 mins. But why have to pay for a Dragon blower? Just another gadget that isn't necessary. I don't like that the Dragon is much smaller, doesn't have holes where the Charcoal sits & that stupid fan. I have a cheap $3 portable mini fan I can use to speed up the process on the Weber if I wanted to.

I love my chimney of insanity and bbq dragon. Fastest way to get coals going!

Miss your videos allot hope you're fine

Awesome test, loved to see something other than B&B winning lol. Keep it up. I'm just getting into charcoal grilling. Love the tips

I was amazed as well with these products, until the fan started acting weird. It still ran last time I used it but the rpm’s would fluctuate up and down and it didn’t blow near as powerfully on high as I did when I got it. And yes, I’d charge the batteries regularly. As for the chimney, it doesn’t hold as much charcoal as the Weber, I believe it’s rusting much faster, and it doesn’t work that great without the fan. This is just my experience with the products and obviously others love them. What I’ve learned just this year to make my charcoal light faster is to do like I’d already been doing in lighting my Vortex’s. I simply turn my other Weber chimney upside down and put it on top. I know that I could just split the charcoal between the two chimneys but one over the other is just easier.

Just bought mine as a bundle off of eBay!! Can’t wait to get it going. Me thinks a sous vide ribeye will be first!!

Love it... learning alot from you

If you had enough chimneys I think it would be cool to see all of the different kinds of different brands of the charcoal briquettes and see all of them burn at once like B&B Kingsford Royal Oak the Cowboy kind and the one that your body use in competition

Ive seen the bbq dragon before but dang i didnt know in less than 10 minutes u get a chimney of coals ready to go. I sometimes use my air compressor with a long air wand if im in a hurry and at home. Usually ready in 10 minutes but not portable.

Great video as always you wife should pop in from time to time its only logical for to I we do hear her speak some times keep the videos coming you will be as big as bbq pitboys soon

That’s really neat. I’d buy one if it were the same size as the Weber.

Been BBQing for over 50 years. Member of the SCA too. Have a couple of the regular old Weber Chimneys. Never felt the need to spend 70 bucks to gain 20 minutes lightup time. YMMV

wow that really speeds up starting the charcoal. i prefer charcoal but when there is a time squeeze i use gas. with this i could dump my gas grill

Nice review. Thanks for taking the time to provide us with a fair and impartial review. Much appreciated.

Man, the sides of the Chimney of Insanity getting visibly cherry red hot can't be good, right?!

I'm glad you reviewed this

Wow, that was crazy

Can you use Weber starter cubes in the chimney of insanity?

i stick with my weber chimneys i have enough gadgets lol

Love PK Grills!

It works great for lighting up B&B char logs as well, just make sure they are not all pointing up. A random pour in the chimney works far better than trying to organize all of them standing up (I tested this over the weekend lol). I wound up dumping the char logs and just tossing them in the chimney. They took straight off!
