Turn Up the Heat at Your BBQ With a Weber Chimney Starter

Whether you’re at home or giving your best shot at a BBQ Cook-off Competition, a chimney starter is something that most Barbecue Pros will pack before nearly anything else.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re using lump charcoal or pressed briquets (psst… go with the lump charcoal!)… this Weber chimney starter remains one of the easiest, fastest and best “lighter fluid free” way to get your coals fired up and ready.

Product Description

Chefs, start your grills. You can have red-hot coals in a matter of minutes by following three steps: load your coals into this aluminized steel chimney starter, light a fire, and place the starter over the fire. The Weber chimney starter is extra large, holding enough briquettes for indirect or direct fire on a 22-1/2-inch kettle grill. A stay-cool thermoplastic handle and a wire foldout handle let you move the starter safely. --Rhonda Langdon

Unbelievably Easy

Dump some charcoal in the chimney, crumple a few sheets of newspaper into the bottom, light the papers, wait a while, and you have ashed, ready to use coals. This is so much easier and healthier than dousing the charcoal with starter fluid and more convenient than using the electric starters. If I'd known this sooner, I would've bought my charcoal grill a long time ago!
Gets the job done

Reviewer: Evan A. Frank,
I'm new to charcoal grilling, but this is way easier than using lighter fluid. I'm not convinced that lighter fluid makes your food taste like chemicals, but it sure is nice to not have to buy it. Just stuff a big wad of paper under this thing and go do something else for a little while and when you come back all the coals are hot. When I first got it I thought it was way huge and 2/3 full is plenty for two people. I had to cook for more people the other day so I filled it all the way up and definitely appreciated the large capacity.
love it

The 1st time I went camping (single mom w/2 kids under 12 yrs), my friend lent me a home-made/coffee can starter. I smoked out our whole row of campsites and I mean with billowing smoke. It was a great conversation starter and caused quite a few laughs at my expense. I bought this and never looked back. Fast, even burn, and less waste. I bought two more for my friends (including the friend that lent me the home-made one) and they loved it. They are also women that love to camp & bbq. I also cook with dutch ovens and this is great to always have charcoal to keep even temps while doing multiple meals/pots.
great

We needed a new chimney charcoal starter. I found this one on Amazon.com with 3 other related items I was shopping for at 1/2 the price I had seen elsewhere.
