Verified purchase - review from a price comparison website
It's a very popular tool for quickly firing up the grill without the need for long blowing or the use of liquid firelighters.
Are you looking for a cheap solution and don't mind that the starter may only last 2-3 seasons, or are you a DIYer who will eventually swap rivets for screws.
Speed and efficiency: Charcoal or briquettes are ready for grilling in 15-20 minutes without any effort.
Price.
Simplicity: Just put some paper or solid kindling underneath and let the "chimney effect" work.
Heat shield: It has a metal hand guard to prevent burns during handling.
Rivet quality (Major weakness).
Thinner material: The sheet metal is not as robust as premium brands (e.g. Weber), which can lead to faster corrosion or deformation at very high temperatures.
Wooden handle: On some pieces, the handle may come loose or burn slightly if the heat is too great.

the wooden handle is released from the metal connections to the body. It is always necessary to lift it properly so that the handle does not loosen. It is possible to survive but it is something to think about when working with hot coals which is simply not ideal

The aluminum rivets on the bottom cracked while melting the coal.

works great for the price
the holes in the bottom are quite large, requiring you to start with larger pieces at the bottom

After the modifications I wanted to do anyway (replacing rivets with screws), it holds and fires well. For that price, even with the investment in washer screws and nuts, it' s good. I had them at home anyway.
It' s a shame that the manufacturer no longer makes these adjustments. That he would push the price down? It' s not that kind of investment.

SHAME! The Catarra chimney broke on the second use. The design of the ear absolutely does not meet the safety regulations for tools and implements working with hot substances. The completely inadequately fixed ear (this is the entire production line as such, not a single piece) fell out of the holder when gently grasped (see photo), the contents of the hot coals spilled onto the ground and deteriorated, and only by chance there were no burn injuries.

It's decent enough but the grill in the middle got burnt out. Fixable but I'd expect a better quality of product
Worked for a while
Fell apart after a year
