Weber Rapidfire, Chimney Starter, Made Of Aluminized Steel & Large Enough To Hold The Appropriate Number Of Briquettes For An Indirect Or Direct Fire On A 22-1/2" Diameter Weber Kettle, Unique Cone Bottom Allows For Fast Start & A Double Thermoplastic Handle Allows For Easy Pouring Once Charcoal Is Ignited

This thing works exactly as advertised and deserves all the positive reviews it got. I don't know how I lived without this for so long. This starter is simply fantastic! I used this for the first time today to start a BBQ and was astounded by how easy and fast this thing is.

No more lighter fluid, fanning, piling coals into a pyramid, and other nonsense. Just stuff some paper in the bottom, light, and come back 5 mins later. Your coals will be glowing red.

Very nice construction quality and durable build. And not a bad price too. Highly recommended.

This is an amazingly easy-to-use product that speeds up the time it takes to get a charcoal grill ready to cook while eliminating the need for lighter fluid (and thus the safety and taste issues associated with its use). Both my husband and I were amazed at how quickly it gets going; it's literally not much difference, speed-wise, than propane. We've seen other model starters slightly cheaper, but with a difference of about $5 at most, this one is by far the sturdiest, most efficient, and easiest to use (with that extra metal handle for stability while handling). You'll want a pair of sturdy gloves for handling the lit starter; we like the red leather gloves by Lodge, but any good leather gloves will do. (And really, if you're grilling, you should have a pair of sturdy gloves handy anyway.)

This chimney works great, but I could have had a smaller one. It didn't look so gigantic in the picture. It almost overwhelmes my Webber - I will never use its entire capacity. Although I love it, I would select a small one next time.

This product saves time, money, and eliminates lighter fluid taste. I get 4-5 years out of each one I purchase, and I grill heavily year round in Florida. I save a tremendous amount of money not having to purchase lighter fluid. It gets coals ready much faster and more thoroughly than lighter fluid, and leaves no aftertaste. You can start full baskets for large grills, or fill it less for smaller grills. Uses only newspaper. I have tried cheaper no name chimneys, but have always been disappointed. This is a much higher quality product than any equivalent product I have seen. You owe it to yourself to get one!

This is a simple, great invention. The coals burn hotter, faster than with lighter fluid. I use two pieces of old news paper and they will light charcoal in 15 - 20 minutes. If you use charcoal, give your neighbors your old lighter fluid and buy one of these.
