    5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for quick charcoal starting
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend
    Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023
    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

    I did my homework, read a hundred or more reviews and decided on the Weber chimney. Wow, does it work and quickly! I don't even use gloves when the coals are blazing because the handle is still cool. ( It is recommended to always use gloves when handling the hot chimney). This product has made preparing my charcoal briquettes quicker and easier. I could not be happier. Just one tumble weed is all it takes to get it started! I love this thing.

    Works great, always liked cooking with charcoal but it would take so long. Using this makes it quick and easy . I usually throw 10-20 in and let it dill burn for 10 minutes then pour on my other coal and it’s good to go!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works well with small grills
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024
    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.

    This makes charcoal start so easy. Great value for the money. Quality is really good. It does get hot, but the heat shield helps. This is a must have for charcoal grilling.

    So far this works great. With two handles it is easy to pour the hot charcoal right where you want without getting burnt

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best BBQ starter I ever had
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024
    Used many cheap starter cylinders and they are okay, but this thing is great. It is clear that someone actually engineered it, from ventilation to materials. It's big and can get a full load of coals roaring in 10 minutes!
