Spent $150 on that fancy ceramic charcoal starter and it cracked on first use

My old cheap steel chimney lasted 5 years and this expensive one split right down the side after one cook, so has anyone else had bad luck with those ceramic starters?

Kept my old steel one, never looked back.

150 bucks buys a lot of steel re-sharpenings though.

$150 for a one-time use ceramic cracker, nice.
