A charcoal starter-burner of the general type exemplified by U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,907 has a perforate grate hinged at one side and spaced inwardly from the inner wall of a tubular housing. The hinge axis defines a side of the grate of greater extent and a side of lesser extent, the grate being substantially planar on the side of greater extent and being bent down from that plane to define a lip on the side of lesser extent, the lip being at an angle of between 30 DEG and 50 DEG from the upper surface of the planar side of greater extent of the grate. The tubular housing is provided with a stop projecting into the housing above the grate at a side opposite the hinge axis and with two holes located chordally with respect to one another, symmetrically with respect to the stop and immediately below the grate. A retainer for the grate in its horizontal position is provided, the retainer having a straight reach extending between and through the holes, a handle reach tending away from the straight reach, and a detent reach tending toward the straight reach sufficiently close to the straight reach to engage the outside surface of the housing when the retainer is in place, the retainer being sufficiently flexible to allow the detent reach to be sprung away from the housing to permit selective withdrawal of the straight reach from the holes.
