Where do you burn a 'refill' chimney?

What they said - I have a few pavers off the edge of my concrete, and light chimneys there if I need to.

I don't pre-light charcoal I add to the smokers though - I just add it to the firebox of the offset, or to the Slow N Sear, directly. I rake the burning coals to one side, then add fresh charcoal, so that it can burn back across the firebox or SNS, just like when I started it with the initial 12 briquettes.

I do the same thing when adding to the SnS. My PartyQ takes it from there.

Yeah, I don't usually pre-light either. I know some people think it can give off-tastes but I use a snake and some use the minion method I think it tastes fine.

I have a couple of leftover bricks from when my next door neighbor's house was build that do a fine job.

I use another cooker to hold the chimney. Of course, that’s only if I’m out of propane for my 500k btu weed burner, which is normally how I light everything.

Thanks for all the feedback. I’m thinking I might pick up a Smokey Joe since it’s always windy here to knock down some of the breeze at least at the bottom. If I had a good spot or think of one, I might throw down a paver and put a couple upright on the windy sides.

Smokey Joe AND a 12"square paver. I like the way you think. More is more.

You may end up using that SJ for searing from time to time. It comes in handy.
