Weber® Rapidfire Compact Chimney Starter

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!

Great buy. Was on a deal. Doing its job. Heating fast.

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.

Listen If you want to easily light your charcoals getting a chimney is the way is definitely sturdy and you can get a perfect batch of coals every time and it’s easy to add when you need

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.

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.

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.

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.

Der Weber Rapidfire Anzündkamin in der kleineren Version (20 cm Höhe) ist absolut top! Für alle Holzkohlegrills ab Ø 47 cm ist er die ideale Lösung. Die kompakte Größe ist perfekt für den Einsatz, wenn man nicht große Mengen an Kohle benötigt, und dennoch bietet er genügend Kapazität für einen effizienten Start. Das Anzünden der Kohle geht unglaublich schnell und unkompliziert. Innerhalb von 15-20 Minuten ist die Kohle perfekt durchgeglüht und bereit für den Grill. Die zwei Griffe machen das Handling super sicher, auch wenn der Kamin voll ist. Besonders der Klappgriff hilft enorm, die Kohle präzise und sicher in den Grill zu schütten. Die Qualität des Materials ist wie gewohnt von Weber hochwertig und langlebig, der Kamin bleibt selbst nach vielen Einsätzen stabil und formbeständig. Alles in allem ein unverzichtbares Zubehör für jeden, der Holzkohlegrills liebt. Klare Empfehlung mit 5 von 5 Sternen!

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
