Mr. Bar-B-Q Haystack Airflow Cage (40362Y) is built to help your fire starters ignite faster and burn more efficiently. Weak airflow can smother flames and slow down your cook. This reusable airflow cage improves oxygen circulation so your fire starts cleaner, hotter, and more consistently.
Its open-frame design cradles up to two haystack-style fire starters at once, preventing suffocation and encouraging upward flame movement. Whether you are lighting a charcoal grill, smoker, pizza oven, or fire pit, this cage helps you reach cooking temperature with less delay and better consistency.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
