ABSTRACT:
The improved charcoal starter features a tubular housing having upper and lower rims, the latter intended to rest in a barbecue type charcoal burner. A grate is pivoted along its edge to an intermediate portion of the housing and has a leg depending perpendicularly from the opposite edge for a distance equal to the distance between the grate pivot and the lower rim of the housing. A bail-like handle is detachably pivoted to the upper portion of the housing. When the housing is lowered by the handle into the charcoal burner, the burner first contacts the leg and causes the grate automatically to turn to its horizontal position ready to receive charcoal for igniting. Subsequently, when the housing is lifted by the handle, the grate automatically is tilted by gravity to dump the ignited charcoal into the burner. An added feature of the starter is that the handle doubles as a support for a cooking pot so that the starter may be used as a camp stove. This feature is achieved by removing the handle from its pivot openings and seating the handle across the upper rim of the housing, notches being provided in the handle to retain the housing and handle in fixed relation.
