I bought this as a gift for my brother in law when he got himself a charcoal grill. I have had mine for years and it works great. The chimney starter itself is very well made and stands the test of time and many bbq’s. One thing that I would recommend if buying this product is to also buy fire starters. With this combo you will never need lighter fluid again. This chimney starter evenly heats your charcoal which in turn evenly cooks your food. With this product being so consistent your food comes out the same every time. We know exactly how long burgers, steaks, ribs, etc. take, like to the minute. Completely worth it if you have a charcoal grill.

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

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)

Style: Chimney OnlySize: CompactVerified Purchase
The Weber Compact Rapidfire Chimney Starter has completely transformed the way I kickstart my grilling sessions. This ingenious tool takes the hassle out of charcoal lighting and has become an essential part of my outdoor cooking routine.

From the moment I started using this chimney starter, I was blown away by its efficiency. Loading the briquettes into the chamber is a breeze, and the compact size is perfect for my grilling setup. The design allows for optimal airflow, ensuring that the coals catch fire quickly and evenly. No more waiting around for the charcoal to reach the right temperature – this chimney starter gets the job done in record time.

One of the standout features is the ergonomic handle. It remains cool to the touch, even when the coals are blazing hot. This level of safety is a game-changer, as I can easily pour the hot charcoal without worrying about burns or accidents.

The compact size doesn't compromise on capacity. It holds a substantial amount of charcoal briquettes, making it suitable for both small gatherings and larger barbecue sessions. The design also prevents the coals from falling out during the ignition process, ensuring a mess-free experience.

The Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter is not just a tool; it's a guarantee of consistent grilling results. The even distribution of lit coals translates to uniform heat across the grill, allowing me to achieve perfect sears and delicious smoky flavors every time.

Clean-up is a breeze thanks to the quality construction and design. The sturdy build ensures that the chimney starter will withstand frequent use, and the sleek finish is easy to wipe down after each grilling session.

In conclusion, the Weber Compact Rapidfire Chimney Starter is a must-have for any charcoal grill enthusiast. Its rapid ignition, user-friendly design, and safety features make it an invaluable tool that saves time and guarantees exceptional grilling results. If you're looking to elevate your grilling game and streamline the charcoal lighting process, the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter is an investment that's well worth every penny. It has earned its five-star rating by revolutionizing my outdoor cooking experience!

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy útil a la hora de prender el carbón.
Reviewed in Mexico on November 30, 2022
Style: Chimney OnlySize: StandardVerified Purchase
Si bien el encender el carbón de manera tradicional (con la ramita de ocote, rodeado de los amigos que observan fijamente, cerveza en mano, y ocasionalmente afirman "ehh, ya está prendiendo" cuando comienzan a aparecer chispas) tiene su encanto y es parte de la experiencia completa de una carnita asada, este encendedor le ha hecho honor a su nombre (Rapid Fire).

Fue tan sencillo como colocar 2 cubitos de encendido (de la misma marca) en la parrilla inferior, depositar carbón casi hasta el tope en este peculiar aparato y colocarlo encima de dichos cubos, para que, en alrededor de 5-10 minutos (la verdad no cronometré) hubiera una cantidad de carbón encendida suficiente para vaciarlo sobre la parrilla inferior y comenzar a preparar la carne.

Ojo aquí, en ese tiempo que menciono, se encendió casi todo el carbón que contenía el encendedor (valga la redundancia), salvo la parte de hasta arriba, pero eso lo hice intencionalmente para reducir el riesgo de meterme un quemón al ser la primera vez que lo usaba, sin embargo, si lo hubiera dejado unos 5 minutos extra, seguro se encendía todo.

En este caso bastó con depositar el carbón encendido y extenderlo un poco (lo hice con una palita de madera porque compré un encendedor, cubos de encendido, el asador, pero al parecer no se me ocurrió en ningún momento comprar pinzas metálicas), para que después de un rato se expandiera el fuego uniformemente.

El encendedor se siente sólido, más no como para que te confíes, hay que manejarlo con cuidado y preferentemente con guantes, puesto que si en un descuido tocas el cilindro no soy experto en termodinámica, pero sospecho que te vas a quemar, y feo.

En resumen, cumple su objetivo: prender el carbón rápidamente y optimizar el tiempo invertido en la preparación de la carnita.

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.
