Q: Is Weber chimney one that you put paper on bottom and charcoal on top and light the paper

submitted by Steve - 6 years ago
  • A: Hello! With the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter you would put the charcoal on the inside and the Weber lighter cubes at the bottom. Thanks!

    submitted byWeberGrills - 6 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Yes, you can place newspaper on the bottom of the chimney to light the charcoal. You can also use fire cubes. Either method works.

Q: Once the chimney is emptied into the grill, where should the chimney be placed? On what surface should the chimney be placed to light the briquettes?

submitted by HauntHunter - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi! We recommend placing the Chimney Starter somewhere safe once you’ve poured the coals into the grill, you don’t want pets or guests bumping into it while it’s still hot. First, you’ll need to take out the cooking grate from your grill. Then, fill your Chimney Starter all the way to the top with charcoal (you can use less if you aren’t cooking as much food). Set the lighter cubes on the charcoal grate and light them. We appreciate your interest and we're here to answer any other questions you may have. Thank you!

Pefect Firelighter until Target handles it.

This is the only fire starter i like using. Unfortunately it arrived damaged and the damage appears to have happened before shipping bc my box is perfect. Do better, Target.

Cheers!

Outstanding! Thank you! I have been using Weber kettles for 50 years. We got our first one as a wedding present, wore it out, and have replaced it every 20 years or so. Still a fan!

Bring back the old, non-flammable handle!

I had an old one of these starters that lasted for years with only a little rust. When my wife bought me this one to make it look nicer, I got rid of the old one. I wish I had kept it. The new one’s handle started melting within the first few uses, and today it completely melted off and caught fire.

It's big

Solid. Works well for an entire grill or flip it over for a smoke starter

It works as advertised

This is my second chimney starter. Sometimes I use this in tandem with the other one depending on what I'm cooking. They work great. The holes in the side make it easy for the fire to breathe and feed on oxygen. Overall, great product.

Professional Meat Lover Says So

You may wonder why pay extra for this one? Well, the size the really handy and feels lighter when handling than the smaller one.

Works well but not big enough

I was surprised that it didn't hold more charcoal. I have a Weber barbecue and it is barely enough to cover the bottom of my barbecue and at times was unable to get to a high enough temperature to cook my meat.

Essential add-on for regular grilling.

Great addition to my new grill. Charcoal heats up fast without the handle getting hot. Great design and functionality.

Quality product

A must have. Very easy to start up and it’s not a long wait. 10 to 15 minutes and you’re ready.

lightning speed

Decision to dinner in no time. Was not sure I needed to keep this somewhat bulky item in our spcae constrained home, but after trying it once, we are sold. Makes a last minute decision to grill dinner a feasible option, even without a gas grill.

No longer stainless steel!

I had to replace my 10yr old Weber rapid fire, and bought a new one. First thing i noticed out of the box, was that it is galvanized. So tested with a magnet, and it stuck. My last one was nice shiny stainless steel. I guess if the dont last as long, we have to buy more often.

Works Well

Works well and gets the charcoal started, can take a little more time depending on the amount of charcoal put into it, but is much better than just trying to light a fire on the grill bars.

This thing rocks!

The Chimney Starter, total game changer. Fill it with charcoal. place a piece of paper towel with some cooking oil on the grill, light it up and place the Chimney on it and wait 20 minutes, you will be glad you did!

New Weber chimney.

I've had the same chimney for about 40 years. Never used charcoal liquid starter, only paper.

Works a little too good

Bought this recently and underestimated how well it would work compared to previous chimney starters. Got the coals going with a lighter cube. Went inside to prep my food. I’m used to it taking several minutes for a full chimney to be ready and I don’t know what I did differently this time but when I came back out the charcoal was so hot it had melted the rubber on the handle. Keep an eye on this thing and don’t turn your back on it

Durable chimney starter for grilling

I use this chimney starter three times week all year. The old ones lasted three years, but the new one is stronger. It might last even longer. I suggest getting one.
