Weber Rapidfire Compact Chimney Starter – Charcoal Grill Accessory That Lights Coals in Under 15 Minutes, Ideal for Smaller Grills (Smokey Joe & Jumbo Joe)

Okay not sure why I haven't bought one sooner I've been stacking charcoal for the longest time. The Weber chimney starter actually worked out pretty well for the first time I've used it. No assembly required. I fit 17 original B&B charcoal briskets loosely with no problem. I used two fire starters and took about 20 minutes for it to be fully ashed over. The only thing I found about it that I would change is offering a larger chimney or buying multiple if you're going to grill a large amount. I found this size with 17 of the B&B briskets was enough to cook two full-size steaks. Ease of cleaning wasn't bad just a little soot on the top tips wiped off easy. Definitely a must pair with any fire starter don't use lighting fluid.

I love this thing! I throw some newspaper or the charcoal bag under the basket. Put some vegetable oil on the paper, fill the chimney and wait. In about 20 to 30 minutes the coals are hot and ready to go! I tried the soak it down with fluid method and never got the results I wanted. This works perfectly every time! I have used a few brands if charcoal too! And they all work perfectly! I couldn't ask for better! When mine wears out, I'll buy another one for sure! Totally worth every cent!

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!

3 years this lasted finally the little center ring gave out ! Would love to get another one. Hopefully I find it.

Grilled with gas for many, many years. Finally living somewhere we can grill with charcoal, and made the transition. We are using a square cheapo HD grill. The coals are ready if this is packed full in 15-20 mins. I save the flyers from the mailbox for the stores and ball those up to use underneath for the starter material. Equally good: paper bags that my whisky comes in. That's my kind of recycling. Use lighter all around to catch well, and off you go. For smaller cooks, or shorter cooks, this size is fine. (think 4 burgers or boneless chicken breasts). For ribs or similar on a charcoal grill, this will probably be too small of a yield of hot coals. Will probably get a second one for this reason. Mine was packaged horribly (thanks, Amazon) and is an oval shape instead of round. It wasn't worth tradiing it for another one and it works as expected. I set mine in a covered area after cooling; lots of complaints about rusting so trying for some preventive maintenance. I am pretty sure it will last longer than the grill.

This device ignites charcoal like the big one, but smaller. Does what is says. Don't over think it.

Excelente

Seems sturdy and works well. We'll see if its rusted out in a year like the others.

It's perfect for the small 37 cm kettle weber or go anywhere webber. Fits in the go anywhere webber if you pack it in. What I don't like about it is that it can dent easily. It's not a thick plate of steal. But it's does what it needs to do. Excellent for Camping or fishing trips.

Made my life easier. Very good for small barbeque kit. If you have a big barbeque set, it is better to buy a bigger Fireplace lighter.

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.
