Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter, Standard – Fast‑Lighting Charcoal Starter for Quick & Even Hot Coals, Durable Silver Metal Design for BBQ Grilling

So my propane grill broke down and I was left with a small charcoal grill, I don’t have much experience with charcoal grilling and I was really struggling to light it and keep it lit and heated well. That struggle lead me to this, and for the cost? Wow it worked better than I thought and I don’t even use the kindling they sell. I just grab a few flammable things to start it and drop my charcoal in and bam I’m basically done and every single time my food cooks better than ever, evenly and tastes great cause I don’t even need to use fire accelerant anymore. It’s such a simple item but it’s so much fun, like a mini bonfire before I grill. Worth every cent.

This stubby lighter is a great product for small Q's like a little Weber, or my Korean table top grill

This Weber Chimney Starter has made lighting my grill so much easier. It lights charcoal quickly and evenly without the need for lighter fluid, which makes the whole process cleaner and safer. I love how the air vents and sturdy design help the coals heat up in no time. The grill is usually ready to go in about 15 minutes or less. The handle stays comfortable and cool to the touch, even when the coals are blazing, and the heat shield gives extra peace of mind. It is built well and feels like it will last for years of summer cookouts. Easy to use, easy to clean, and worth every penny. A a must have for anyone who grills regularly!

IT'S NICE & BIG, HOLDS PLENTY OF CHARCO

I use this with the Lodge Sportsman Grill. It works well but I wish it were about an inch taller to more easily hold about 6 more coals. The larger chimneys are too wide in diameter to sit flat on the coal grate of the Sportsman Grill. If I am doing a full cook on the grill this is not quite enough coals for my liking. I need to pile the extra few coals above the rim. No biggy but an inch taller would be nice. This is the first time I have used a chimney and I was very impressed how well it started the coals. I will never go back to fluid. Update: I still like this a lot. I still wish it was an inch taller, but it works. I looked at the weber full size chimney, it is massive. Almost as big as my Lodge Sportsman grill. I'll stick with this compact model for this grill. Tip for easy lighting: Tear the newspaper into 1" wide shreds. Even better, run it through an office shredder. It lights way easier since there is better airflow through the shredded paper. Its harder to get the paper to stay in place though. Roll it in a ball, stuff it under the chimney and hold it in place until you set the chimney in place. Tip it slightly and poke your lighter underneath. Don't tip it too much or your paper will fall out. It lights so much easier. Update 2: I bought some Weber starter cubes. So much easier than newspaper and way less smokey. Even brief exposure to the newspaper smoke left me smelling like a campfire. One cube gets this chimney roaring in 10-15 minutes.

I got this smaller charcoal chimney for about half price through the Amazon Warehouse, and it works just fine. I think it must have been returned because the person buying it thought it was too small. For me, it’s just right. I measured out 2 lbs. of lump charcoal, which was recommended for cooking a 16 inch pizza without wasting coals, and that’s pretty much what this chimney holds. I’ve never used a charcoal chimney before, but I put a few pine cones underneath the grid instead of newspaper as my kindling, and I soon had glowing coals in the chimney above. I worried that some of the pieces of the lump charcoal would fall through the grid, so I set it where I planned to dump it and just let any of the small stuff fall through.

My husband said he didn't need one...I don't think he realized what it was for!!! I explained it, but he still insisted. However I bought it for him anyways because I knew if I wanted to use the grill I would want to use this even if he didn't. Guess who has used it each time we used the new grill and finally admitted to liking it. We've used it multiple times now and it's perfect for the size portable grill we have, holds just enough coals. This gets the charcoal going and hot and it is easy to dump out. We haven't used it with paper or a started yet because we had bought the self lighting coals that have the lighter fluid built into them. So we filled it with those and he would lay one under where you would put the starter or paper and light just the one. It would quickly catch all the others. We will be trying it with regular coals in the future and will probably need the paper or starters then. Hubby does not like the taste of cooking with these, though it's still better than our old gas grill he said he can taste the lighter fluid too. I guess my taste buds are not that distinct! The plastic handle is just far enough away that it does get warm, but not too hot and doesn't melt. Also if you tilt it just the right way it helps protect your hand from the fire, because it is at a distance. I would recommend these to anyone wanting to have a quicker way to start their coals and get them all evenly hot! I hope to use this in the future for dutch over cooking as well, just need to get my cast iron pans first! It will make a good amount for those as well.

Easy to start fire

good quality, nice and large

quality

avevo dei dubbi su come sarebbe arrivato, un oggetto così irregolare. Invece un confezionamento TOP con pluriball di qualità e ben avvolto tutto intorno. arrivato, è stato messo subito alla prova e... è veramente efficiente. Un paio di diavoline sotto, carbone sopra e in men che non si dica avrete la carbonella calda e pronta per un bbq medio. usato su un bbq di 90cm di larghezza, e ben profondo, ho dovuto metterci due "camini" weber pieni. e la comodità di poter cominciare a cuocere mentre l'altra carbonella è in preparazione ti permette di sbraciare a ciclo continuo. il metallo è spesso, diffidate da altri camini, di pari prezzo tra l'altro, ma che sono fatti di lamierina. qui abbiamo un spessore giusto, ottime saldature e, non di poco, un ottimo deflettore sul manico che evita arrivi il calore sul manico. che dire, usato per accendere la carbonella, a ciclo continuo, per una braciata per 50 persone ha incendiato ben 3kg di carbonella senza avere il benchè minimo accenno a flessioni o perdita di solidità. veramente ben fatto e ben costruito

This is the best purchase I make in a long time You don’t have to use lighting cubes or anything special, just newspaper rolled up on the underside works perfect. Takes about 20~25 minutes and you're ready to cook. I recommend purchasing the larger one. You won’t be sorry.
