    Old fashioned way to fan the fire.

    Not sure of accessories dept is correct but this is an accessory. It is a "blow tube" supposedly used in 18th century as the forunner to the power fans before there were Webers & Char Broils. Works pretty good. A pic of what I ended up cookin, perch in my Erie using my wok oven. 🕶 Click image for larger version

      Looks like you're taking a drag on a home made bong.

      Please explain what an "Erie" is when you get a chance.

        It takes a lot of hot air to use that tube. I guess you are the man for the job.

            FireMan I have had one of these for years. I have one for home and at our cottage. We call it a "blow poke". It works great. They are harder to find now but assume they are still being made. Remember: Do not breathe in !

                  I made a blow tube from the shaft of a golf club I bought at a thrift store. I just looked for the longest one and paid two bucks for it. Have not needed it for the grills but use it to help get fire pit fires going.
