I’m loving the theme song. Been walking around house singing “T-Roys chillin’ in the backyard grillin’” all morning.
Funny you say that Dave!!! Justin called me saying the same thing! LOL Glad you like it!
I was wondering how did you do that? Friend? Professional company? Fan? I love it brother.
$20 for the weber chimney or $70 for the fan and chimney combination.Think I'll stick with the weber and wait a little longer for my coals
I picked up a chimney starter for $10 and a kettle for $50 both on special so you dont have to spend a lot, I find with the chimney that you dont need a dragon, just a fancy hair dryer.
I use a cheap $5 hairdryer from Goodwill. Works fine.
I just use my cordless jobfan
I don’t get it either. 10-15 minutes tops and I’m ready to go.
Lol. Who needs to spend an extra $50 bucks to save 10 minutes. That’s 2 beers and prep time anyways🤣🤣🤣. I’ll stick with my giant Weber chimney 😄
I’ve learned a lot from your channel buddy, appreciate you putting these videos out.
The dragon is a waist of good beer drinking time. Tell momma she can wait another 10 min
I'm with ya brother!!! Cheers!!!
You bet. When I BBQ I'm not in a hurry.
Brilliant observation you're somebody I would like to have as a next-door neighbor lol
that was my first thought as well. Waiting on coals have always been good beer time.
Just the comparison I was looking for. Thank you!
A few minutes either way ain't gonna rip my shorts. LOOOOOWWWW & SLOOOOOOOOW
Thanks Roy it was fun to watch.
Amazing Experience my Brother, Many Thanks for Sharing!!!
This is what we need! Great video brother.
Thanks for the demonstration T-roy on the 2 Chimneys.
I too like my times around the grills "low 'n slow" so no need for a fan to start my coals. Good job on the video.
I'm the same way James!!! No rushing for this man!
Great video T-Roy. Thank you for doing this video, really appreciate it bro
Good afternoon T-Roy, superb video as always and good to see different gadgets being used and played around with. Hope that steak was tasty! Cheers to ya
Cool experiment
Especially with the fan :)
Thanks Troy
Thanks Lasse, glad you enjoyed it! I love doing experiments!
Thanks, I have been looking at the dragon for a while and seeing this certainly helped in my decision
I have never used a chimney for grilling. But I might try this combo if I can get hot coals in five minutes! That's a real game changer! Thanks for posting this!
Good to see you back!
Thanks Phil, it's great to be back brother!
What I found that works wonders is using my Weber Chimney with my leafblower. Trust me, I had no idea how it would work but I decided to try it and immediately noticed how it was feeding the air like a bellows. You aim for the bottom and it catches the air blows it upward. Looks like a furnace. I put on a medium speed and it takes me about 2 minutes to get my coals going. The only drawback is that embers tend to fly around but other than that, it's awesome!
Hey Troy! Nice experiment brother! We do think a lot alike. Right after David and I shot the cold grate steak video here, I instantly ordered the BBQ Dragon after watching him use it and seeing how fast and hot he could get the charcoal up. Haven't used it yet, but I will eventually wear it out LOL! Cheers brother!
I do like the fan and it does work great getting my Wichita fired up quicker, but I'm not a fan of the chimney. I prefer the Weber chimney. Thanks for watching Rus!!!! Cheers brother!
Yeah, we just used the weber chimney on a grate, and let the Dragon blow under it to speed up the time. It would be hard to get use to a smaller chimney. A full load in the Weber is usually just the right amount for a Weber kettle
Great video T-Roy!! I use my propane turkey fryer burner to get my charcoal up to temp in about 7 minutes in my Weber chimney.
I totally enjoyed the good vibes from your video other than the honest review. Keep’m coming Brother!
T-roy, you have an awesome channel. And do such excellent work. Keep on keeping on brother.
Great Vid T-Roy, glad you’re back!
Thank you very much Martin!!!
That's a good video! I'm a big fan of the Weber chimney, so seeing another option is appreciated.
I liked & subscribed on the strength of the opening jingle alone.
Hey Ryder, I appreciate the sub and thanks for the feedback on the jingle!!!!
these are great T-Roy, keep'em coming, test more toys !
Interesting gadget there..
Thanks for this great review
Cheers brother!
Hi T-Roy; Who knew, I thought a chimney was a chimney and that's it! Good demo. Cheers!
Well, somebody is always trying to reinvent the mouse trap! LOL Thanks for watching Tom! Cheers brother!
I just use a chimney with charcoal, then use a regular household fan and it works like a charm. You could also use a air compressor if you really need the fire going quickly.
When I worked at British Aerospace back in the 80’s we used to manufacture our very own using the excess Titanium that was to make the heat-resistant jet pipe for the BAe Hawk/Goshawk!
Not worth it, I've been using a cheap hair dryer, works just as well,
You immediately struck me as super friendly and nice, instant-like!
I may need to try this. Great video.
Thanks for the comparison. 👍
I enjoyed the video, been thinking of buying one. 👍
Thanks for the informative video. I might have to get me a new Chimney. Thanks for sharing!
Loving your presentation style! Real neighbourly! 😊😁
Great experiment, Troy! That's a mean fire starting machine! Great video.
Yep, it works great for searing stuff, but most of the time, I am in no rush and will use my Weber. That fan is nice to have when starting my offset though!
That is a sweet charcoal chimney! Cool experiment too! #Cheers loved the blooper too haha Thats the day you first met Jason... i mean Justin ha
Hey thanks T-Roy that video sure was a blast 😂👍
$2.99 Goodwill hairdryer works just as well.
'Course you need 'lectricity.
I've been using the same one for almost 4 years.
I use an old mini fan and it works well too, started doing that a couple years ago before i saw the bbq dragon, just made sense. Glad you had the same idea too makes it a lot easier to get a great sear, and invigorate dying coals. Hope everything's go well with you if you see this.
Great video!
Awesome video. I love gadgets! That would be great for getting home late after work to get supper cooked as quickly as possible.
Yeah, it does get the coals hot really quick. I find the fan useful for getting my offset fired up too!
That would definitely speed up the process, I guess now I can throw away my antique bellows that I currently use. LOL!
You can also use the chimney to star your fire pit. The dragon with the fan would probably work great for that too!
Nice experiment. I used the Electric fire starter. I put in the middle of basket then surround with charcoal, it takes 8 minutes. I do see a lot of uses for that blower though
Yeah, those electric starters work great too! I will likely use the fan mostly for firing up my offset. Thanks for watching MeatHead!!! Cheers brother!
Looks great for quickly switching from low & slow to raging sear if you only have a kettle
Great video and comparison. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Joe! I appreciate you watching!!!
Just the cool looking factor alone makes me want one😂😂LOL Jason😂😂Thanks for sharing😃
I think you could do the same using the fan and the Weber chimney, plus the Weber holds a lot more charcoal. Yeah, Jason!!! LOL Have a wonderful week Christy!
Great video man:)
Love this stuff brother T-Roy. When I film one the things that drive me nuts is the charcoal. Specially when I need to get back to the office quick. This was supper helpful and buying one right now. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Guga Foods put a grate on top of the chimney with the fan running, it could be a turbo charged searing station for sous vide meat!
I'm sure you will find lots of cool uses for it Guga!!! Cheers brother!
Love the blooper, Justin will be Jason forever I think haha! I've got the fan, had it for just under a year, and I love it. It really helps with heating the coals up faster, and saves me about 10 minutes when I use it. Great video as always Troy! Cheers brother!
I'm glad Jason is a good sport about us saying his name wrong! LOL Cheers brother!
Nice video. Love that T-Roy cooks on a Yoder Wichita. That’s badass!
Thanks very much Tim! I appreciate you watching!
I love videos like this. I've been curious about that Chimney since it came out. I may pick that BBQ Dragon version just for fun and on days I'm in a hurry.
It will get the coals hot fast, but you can do the same with using the fan on the Weber Chimney. Gadgets are fun to play around with though! LOL See ya soon brother Justin!
Love the intro jingle, really catchy.
Thank you very much! I think it's a keeper!
Like the theame tune great vid man.
Good vid T-Roy and I agree with you about sticking with the Weber chimney. I like to take my time when I'm grilling with charcoal however, if I need to cook something in a pinch, I'll just use my gas grill. Thanks for sharing and cheers to you my friend.
Thanks for watching William! Cheers brother!
Have you made any videos cooking with cast iron such as a frying pan or griddle to cook breakfast? Love your videos!!
Thanks for the video Troy much appreciated brother
I'm glad if it helped. I appreciate you watching Josh! Cheers brother!!!
My regular Weber chimney starter is super reliable just using one of those wax cubes from them. It takes a little while to get the coals hot and ashed over, but I use that as last minute prep time or to just have a beer or two. This looks great for if I was in a rush or something, but I generally grill and BBQ to relax and have a good time. Still a nice option though.
Cheers, Troy, and love the new intro.
Yep, I am the same way. Grilling should be relaxing and not rushed. I'm gonna stick with my Weber chimney! Thanks for the feedback on the new song!!! Cheers brother!
It really is a nice intro, song and vocals. Kind of reminds me of a cross between Peter, Paul, & Mary and Tom Petty, some of my favorite folk pop type music. Thanks for testing this stuff out for us too. Always interesting to see new grilling gadgets either way.
great video T-Roy
Great test, T-roy....lovin' the new theme song!
Hey Mich, thanks very much brother!!! Cheers!
hahaha. I just saw the blooper. I'm gonna be Jason forever.
Well, could be worse names. :D
Hey, no worries though, Justin; us fans know your name at least. Gotta give Troy a little guff. At least he caught the slip-up though. Cheers.
The funniest part about this is It's not like it has been weeks since we've spoken. We talk or text every day. Something about the camera coming on...
Cool experiment. May have to try one of those, but really I don't mind 15 or 20 minutes. I'm usually busy prepping food or having a cold one during that time anyway!
Thank you. Watched many videos wanted to know what the weber metal handle for. U helped a lot 😊
I like how the bbq dragon talk down about the chimney years back on youtube and now they are making chimney product of their own. Fail
Great experiment Troy! The Weber holds 80 briquettes the Dragon only 50 (according to video I don’t have one yet). If I ever get a dragon fan I’ll get a dragon chimney. It seems that with out the fan the Weber chimney is not only larger but faster. Thanks for this Troy.
You can use the fan on the Weber chimney too Big Lew!!! I should have shown that!
T-ROY COOKS
I beg you to show that with the Weber Chimney, so that I don't have to return the one that I just bought yesterday, still unused.
Johanny
Hi T-Roy I enjoyed this video. Thank you for all your tips. I just purchased the Weber Chimney after watching a couple videos on YT. I can’t wait to try it. I hate using the lighter fluid and I was looking for a better solution for my family’s BBQ coming up. I just subscribed to your channel!
Thanks Johanny, glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the sub!!!!
Thanks for saving me $$$$, the Weber charcoal chimney is all you need.
Thank you
My next door neighbour is vegan... I just bought a weber charcoal bbq, inviting all my people around and cooking up a whole farms worth of meat hahaha! I'm from the UK but I love the American style bbq's yall do. Just feels right!
I light my coal in a Weber chimney but I do it outside the kettle on a couple bricks on the patio because that handle gets wicked hot when lighting inside the kettle. It doesn’t heat up when doing it this way. Good video!
Thanks for the info Todd!!! And thanks for watching brother!
Nice opening song!
You're awesome!
I’m sold
Subscribed as soon as your intro came on
The first thing I do with a T Roy Cooks video is a thumbs up. 👍🏾
I use my Electro Torch to get charcoal started in the chimney. I don’t really care about waiting 15 minutes though.
Got both them. I use the fan on my kettle for searing. I use a leaf blower on the chimney of insanity and yeah insta coals!!
Ha!!! I bet it does get hot insanely quick! LOL
I imagine at lower speed the air flow won't push as many embers out of the chimney, but would still give a nice acceleration of the charcoal :)
It does kick out a lot of hot embers when on high, but keeping it low would definitely work also.
Love that intro, lol. Awesome comparison mate, really cool gadget. Cheers Moose.
Thanks Moose!!! I appreciate the feedback brother!!! Cheers to ya!
I use my Weber chimney and my Ego blower... cram some of the paper from the charcoal bag in the bottom light it wait a few minutes for some of the charcoal to light stand back about 2 meter with blower on low and feed the fire. About minutes of blowing and I am already dumping my coals into the WSM to start building heat.
Awesome video bud!!!
Thanks brother!!! I appreciate you watching!
Good gadget, but I would just wait it out. If I need it quicker I would use compressed air. Always worked to speed up the 🔥
Good video Troy!
Thanks very much David! I enjoy testing out new stuff for my fans!
Nice idea. Would like to have the same volume as the Weber. The Weber charcoal chimney seems to be a standard. It's nice when a recipe says a full Weber chimney.
Yes, I agree Tom. I'm not sure why they made theirs smaller?
I bought the guru pit viper for low and slow smoke sessions. I’ll try it out, it would blow air from underneath the chimney.
I been thinking about getting one...gonna get the Weber
That's was cool T-ROY enjoy these type of videos. 🍻 bro
Thanks Mike, I appreciate the feedback and thank you for watching!! Cheers brother!
i just got my first chimney and i must say it makes it real easy to fire up ..what a crazy new hobby i gotten my self into :D..im just worried over how much weight im gone gain this summer :D..but in the end it is worth it !
You should be fine brother. I doubt you will be eating BBQ every day? LOL
just got my weber master touch so it is hard to not use it :D ..and the weather is on my side Close to 80 F now days and have been so for 8 weeks or so ,and no signs for changes ...hard to be a Viking from Norway now days ..i live as South as you get ..no wind either …:D
great experiment T-roy! thanks for sharing. I'm old school so I'll stick with my Weber chimney
Thanks Jeremy! I'm old school too brother! You can't part me from my Weber stuff! LOL
You and Baby Back Maniac ( Jason) should have your own television cooking show. It would be great entertainment, and great information on barbeque. You guys have good chemistry working together.
In regards to to the two chimneys, I can't justify the cost difference between them. The Weber is $14.00 vs the Dragon (with the fan) is close to the$70.00 mark. Anyway You and Baby Back Maniac (Jason) find a way to get your own television cooking show , I'd definitely watch it.
Keep on grilling and chilling !!
Great video, too bad they don’t send me to Greece. Continue work great work
Yeah!! Great song!
Thank you very much!
Good to know T-Roy!
Weber seems to be the only one with the cone shaped grate on the inside. It increases the surface area for the charcoal to catch fire while directing fire up the middle to light the top coals faster. Well thought out design.
Hey bro I hope you are doing well. I'm diggin that Dragon Chimney. I may pick one up in the future. But I'm usually doing other things why the charcoal is lighting anyway. Have a great weekend! Oh yea love the theme song.
Thanks for the feedback on the jingle and I appreciate you watching!! Cheers brother!
I been using my air hose for years lol
Aww man! I've missed this channel. When did you get a theme? I finally have a situation where i can utilize what I've learned from this channel. As always, well done and fun to watch. I think I'll pass on the bbq dragon, but good info none the less. Glad to see you're still cooking responsibly 😊
Hey brother, I've used that new theme song on the past few videos, so it is new. I appreciate the support!!!
Nice hat T-Roy. Did you go and visit Mt. Rainier? On a nice clear day I can see that mountain from my house.
Also check out the weber compact chimney or mini chimney? It's the weber chimney, only the baby version. Great if you need to only start a few briquettes for low n slow or just have a smaller grill.
I would absolutely buy this when I need to replace my chimney. It's a rocket stove, freakin awesome!
Yep, it lights the coals up really quick!
This intro is the coolest thing ever! Love it!
I appreciate the feedback and am glad you enjoy it!!
I'm at 3:28 and I'm already sold!
