Outdoor chefs who prefer grilling the traditional way will find this chimney starter system invaluable. No more waiting around while the charcoal slowly heats up--the chimney's durable aluminized-steel cylinder causes the flames to ignite each briquette quickly and evenly. To get things fired up, simply fill the chimney with briquettes, place crumpled newspaper or Weber Firestarters under the cylinder, and set in a kettle-style grill. A touch of a match through the holes at the bottom starts the fire, and within minutes the grill's ready to cook up burgers, hot dogs, or whatever's on the menu. The chimney starter offers an extra-large capacity that can hold enough briquettes for a 22-1/2-inch kettle grill, and its double thermoplastic handle extends outward from a mounted panel to keep hands away from heat. For use on a grill or grate only, the chimney starter measures 7-1/2 by 7-1/2 by 12 inches.

From the Manufacturer
Weber's chimney starter makes starting your charcoal a snap. It also cuts down the amount of time it takes for the coals to get ready. Just load up our extra large cannister full of coals, light up a fire starter or crinkled up newspaper, and set the cannister over the flame. In a matter of minutes the coals will be red hot. Who ever thought it could be so easy?

Customer Reviews

JUST GREAT
This worked just as all the reviews have said. Durable and FAST!

Definately a great buy. Just one word of advice...if using in semi-windy conditions, be aware the newspaper ash will fly out from the bottom of the chimmney.

Excellent Product
This thing rocks, simply rocks. Two piece of newspaper and one match, that's all it takes. Solid, nothing fancy, and get the job done. Never go back to fluid again.

Amazing
I must have been living in a cave because I just learned about this device. The hassle of starting charcoal - newspaper, starter fluid, paraffin squares - are GONE. The lingering taste of starter fluid in grilled meat - GONE. This gadget works incredibly well. I place 2 sheets of crumpled up newspaper in the bottom, add charcoal to the top chamber, then light the paper. After 10 minutes, it's a glowing inferno and the briquets are ready.
CAUTION! Wear a welders glove though - the handle can get hot, and flames shoot out the top and bottom when you dump out the coals.
