Highly recommend

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023

Style: Chimney OnlySize: StandardVerified Purchase

I am delighted to share my thoughts on the fire starter chimney that I recently purchased, which has truly elevated my grilling experience.

Before using the chimney, starting a charcoal fire was a frustrating and time-consuming task. However, with the help of this ingenious tool, I can now start a fire quickly and easily, with minimal effort and fuss.

The chimney itself is well-constructed and built to last. The metal is thick and sturdy, and the design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. I appreciate the thoughtful features, such as the heat-resistant handle, which makes it easy and safe to handle, even when the chimney is full of hot coals.

Using the chimney is a breeze. I simply fill it with charcoal, place it on my grill, and light a fire starter. Within minutes, the coals are evenly lit, and I am ready to start cooking. The chimney ensures that the fire is hot and consistent, making it easy to achieve the perfect sear or cook food to a precise temperature.

Overall, I am thrilled with my purchase of the fire starter chimney. It has revolutionized the way I grill, and I cannot imagine going back to the old way of starting a fire. If you are a serious griller or barbecue enthusiast, I highly recommend investing in this game-changing tool. It is well worth the cost and will undoubtedly enhance your grilling experience

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2014

Style: Chimney OnlySize: CompactVerified Purchase

Most people look at it and wonder - Is it worth the money? Well it used to be that you would pile your charcoal up in a pile.. squirt about that much fluid on it.. look at it.. and squirt a bit more just because... light it and watch the mini bonfire that was in your grill and hope you didn't burn down the patio (or something else if the wind shifted)... mean while in the middle of such you remembered that you didn't open the vents and curse while tapping them open as your carefully constructed pile of charcoal fell from the tapping/shaking which then left you trying to pile the briquettes back up in a pile using whatever was handy at the time (normally one of the BBQ utensils), and at the same time you tried your best not to loose your arm hair in the process and searing the flesh from your knuckles, with the worse case scenario being the briquettes only half lighting due to the collapse and you now having to spray more fluid onto the already half lit briquettes and hope you don't catch fire in the process.

So this is how it went down...

The Grill- Bought the Silver Smokey Joe, here on Amazon (no tax & free shipping... yes I know not all states are not tax free now, so if you are living in one of those unlucky states see this as a convenience factor)

The Fuel Source- I used kingsford briquettes (standard blue bag kind) and filled this new gadget to the rim (watch your big box stores who are either Blue or Orange for charcoal to go on sale during/just before summer holiday periods- Memorial Day, 4th of July, Fathers Day).

Ignition Source- Placed a single Weber 7417 Firestarter Lighter Cube on top of the charcoal grate in the grill, Placed the chimney over it, picked it back up and then re-adjusted the lighter cube to be under the center of the chimney. Due to the handle on the Chimney it won't be in the center of the 14" grill... once it was were it needed to be I lit the cube and placed the chimney back over it

Now I won't lie, the entire time I was thinking this isn't going to work.. So I watched it for 3-4 minutes and well it looked like it was doing something more than just burning the lighter cube. So I walked in the house to wash my hands and to get the meat, but if you have ever set up the BBQ only to come back and find that your briquettes are smoldering.... this is what I expected to come back to in another 4-5 minutes... I was wrong... I had a chimney full of nice hot coals. Now the top layer had not ashed over, but I dumped it out into the grill, spread the coals out and it covered the bottom of the smokey joe 14" grill. The 3-4 briquettes that had not ashed over fully quickly did so in the grill.

We now go back to the original question- is it worth the money? YES, in my opinion, to have hot coals in around 10 minutes.. I'll take it over the original way we used to do it back in the day. No Fluid drowned charcoal required... no fussing...(and for those who use cheap fluid and/or don't let it burn out fully of the charcoal you do get a funky taste in your food.. just saying)..

Now I will say I did have to add a few more briquettes to what was in the chimney, but this was also due to cooking a nearly 2 inch thick London broil on the grill.... if it had been something thinner then I would have been more than ok with what was in the chimney to start with.

Keep in mind that charcoal will absorb moisture out of the air over time, and it will take longer to ignite or may not evenly heat/burn... so if you have a bag of it then you may want to store it in a plastic container with an air tight lid.. 5 gallon paint bucket would work (or several depending on bag size)

Works well with small grills

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024

Style: Chimney OnlySize: CompactVerified Purchase

I bought the small portable Weber and this thing for fire starting. Works well and holds suitable amount.
Big ones work too, but this uses less charcoal because it’s, well, smaller. One cube works fine.
Easy to lug around. My old bigger one was kaput after many years in the rain.
By the way, those little webers are excellent. Redesigned to eliminate bottom vents, where ashes could fall out. (You don’t need bottom vents unless you’re baking something. They’ve moved the vents up on this model. Also the top is easily secured so it won’t slip off.

I've held off buying one of these for YEARS now and I finally gave in and it is worth every cent. I can light my charcoal in about 10 seconds and then go and do prep work while they heat up. No more babysitting the coals and relighting the fire. The compact version is kind of small though, I would probably buy the original size because you can always put less charcoal in, but with the compact you are limited.

Great tool for quick charcoal starting

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024

Style: Chimney OnlySize: StandardVerified Purchase

I bought the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter four months ago, and it has made starting my charcoal grill so much easier. Before, I struggled with getting the charcoal to light evenly, but now it’s simple. I just fill the chimney with charcoal, place some newspaper underneath, and light it up. In about 15 minutes, the coals are ready to use.

The chimney starter is sturdy and well-built. The handle stays cool, which makes it safe to use, and there’s an additional handle that helps when pouring the hot coals into the grill. It’s a lot quicker and more efficient than using lighter fluid, and I don’t have to deal with the chemical smell.

Using the chimney starter has made my grilling experience more enjoyable. The coals burn evenly, and I can start cooking faster without any hassle. It’s a great addition to my grilling tools, and I’m glad I decided to get it.

Style: Chimney OnlySize: StandardVerified Purchase

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.

Great, but bulky

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2024

Style: Chimney OnlySize: CompactVerified Purchase

This is the smaller version. It is ideal for use with the Weber Go-anywhere portable barbecue, not for the full-size ones. It is very effective at getting the charcoal well lit, ready to decant onto the barbecue. I have only used it with irregular lump-wood charcoal. It's fine. I guess it would be even better with barbecue briquettes.
You need a pair of suitable gloves (rough gardening gloves will do), and you need something heatproof to put the chimney on once you have decanted the hot charcoal, for it to cool down.
Not to be used with young children around - they won't appreciate the danger. It is EXTREMELY HOT.
Snag: it is bulky. There's no way of reducing its size. So adds a lot of volume to your portable barbecue kit.
Recommended though, for reliable starting.
