Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter, Large Capacity (32cm Height), Dual Handles for Safe Pouring, Fast and Even Charcoal Ignition for BBQ Grills 47cm and Larger – Silver (7416)

Absolutely brilliant. Fill it with charcoal and put it on the BBQ gas ring. 10 mins later all ready to go. Very little mess and easy to handle as it has 2 handles to keep it stable. Wish I has bought one years ago.

Great product. Works very well. This filled with charcoal will fill my main bbq and the smaller smoker on the side.If your tempted, make sure you check the size. It's quite big which is perfect for a larger bbq but possible overkill for a small bbq.

Excellent piece of kit. I’m a complete beginner bbqer and thought this might be overkill, but it’s so useful to have. Gets the coals ready so much quicker and without hassle. Feels really good quality, nice and sturdy, and excellent value for the price.

This chimney starter makes lighting charcoal so easy. Coals are ready in minutes, no lighter fluid needed, and the two-handle design feels safe to use. Really solid build quality too — definitely worth it!

It took a while to get the coals to full temperature roughly 30 minutes, mostly briquettes. I timed 15 mins from lighting and it was getting warmer but not hot enough to cook on by a long way. (Photo here after 25 mins) however it did a very good job of heating the coals consistently throughout and was simple to light. Zero effort once lighter cubes were lit. It's a decent size and catered for 4 adults comfortably, but any bigger you'd need to add more coal.

High quality product and easy to use. Can’t beat Weber bbq products. Never used one before and saw a friend using it at a bbq. Gets it going very quickly as all the coals are concentrated in a small area. Game changer for bbqs

I treated myself to a new barbeque this summer and up until now i've always used instant light charcoal bags to get things started. However after researching things I felt it was time that I got myself one of these so I have a bit more control on starting the fire.The product works great and after about 20 minutes my charcoal was burning lovely and ready to be added to the barbeque. It does produce a lot of smoke when first started but that might be down to the charcoal I was using.Its well built and holds more than enough to get a fairly large barbeque going,The extra wire handle thing seems like it gets in the way but once you go to tip the charcoal out it makes a lot of sense and really helps with that process.The price is good and I imagine it will last me many years.All I can say is that having some heat proof gloves while using this is a must.
