Chimney Starter Tee

Every kettle cook knows the ten minutes between lighting the chimney and dumping the coals. Paper underneath, lump on top, a column of smoke, and then the first grey ash on the top row that says it is time. Somebody always asks if the grill is ready. The answer is always the same.

This tee draws a chimney starter on the chest, heat-shield handle and all, with the coals inside in warm orange and a few sparks above it. Under the drawing, in heavy capitals: ALMOST READY. It is a small joke that only lands with people who have stood next to a chimney, which is exactly who it is for.

A good gift for a kettle owner, the uncle who brings his own bag of lump to every family cook, or the person who always gets sent outside to start the fire. Black and Charcoal make the coals glow; Brick Red is warmer; on Ash the drawing prints in dark ink.
