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

The Weber Rapidfire Compact Chimney Starter works great and makes charcoal grilling so much easier. It lights the coals quickly, the size is compact but still very efficient and perfect for small to medium grill like us. Durable, easy to use, and a must-have for BBQ lovers!

Awsome product vey easy to use and does a great job. Gets coals nice and hot and ready in about 10 minutes. I threw 2 starter bushes underneath the chimney

Works perfectly, but note that this is a compact chimney starter! It ignited my coals perfectly, but that was also nowhere near enough charcoal for my standard-size grill unfortunately. I do like that it is very compact, though, so I'm OK with working around this by first using the ignited charcoal to ignite even more charcoal in the grill, and then getting started after that.

Best to start BBQ coals. Don't need to use horribly unhealthy lighter fluid any more. Easy to start and dump out the lighted coals. Everyone in family will get this as a gift.

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.

Wow - I should have gotten one of these years ago. It is the smaller version but I use it with the smaller 18" Weber so it is adequate for a small cook. If you are cooking for more than two people you should probably get the larger one. It seems a little flimsy but is holding up well and boy, does it get those briquettes going strong is just a few minutes. Super easy to use and saves much time and frustration.

Nice quality chimney starter and works great. The quality is a lot nicer than the Kingsford ones. I used one Royal Oak tumble weed fire starter and was off to the races.

This has a better handle than other brands. It's also twice the price. It works great. You do not need lighter fluid. But I like to put some in there just enough for the smell. Paper on the bottom or tumble weeds only need 1 to get the fire started. Coals are ready very quickly 10 to 12 min and your cooking. Since I bought this I use charcoal 3 to 1 vs propane now a complete reversal.

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.
