    • Got coals with little effort!
Style: Chimney Only Size: Standard
I love this thing! I throw some newspaper or the charcoal bag under the basket. Put some vegetable oil on the paper, fill the chimney and wait. In about 20 to 30 minutes the coals are hot and ready to go! I tried the soak it down with fluid method and never got the results I wanted. This works perfectly every time! I have used a few brands if charcoal too! And they all work perfectly! I couldn't ask for better! When mine wears out, I'll buy another one for sure! Totally worth every cent! ... show more

    • Unexpectedly fun grilling accessory.
Style: Chimney Only Size: Compact
So my propane grill broke down and I was left with a small charcoal grill, I don’t have much experience with charcoal grilling and I was really struggling to light it and keep it lit and heated well. That struggle lead me to this, and for the cost? Wow it worked better than I thought and I don’t even use the kindling they sell. I just grab a few flammable things to start it and drop my charcoal in and bam I’m basically done and every single time my food cooks better than ever, evenly and tastes great cause I don’t even need to use fire accelerant anymore. It’s such a simple item but it’s so much fun, like a mini bonfire before I grill. Worth every cent. ... show more

    • Grill lighting made easy
Style: Chimney Only Size: Standard
This Weber Chimney Starter has made lighting my grill so much easier. It lights charcoal quickly and evenly without the need for lighter fluid, which makes the whole process cleaner and safer. I love how the air vents and sturdy design help the coals heat up in no time. The grill is usually ready to go in about 15 minutes or less. The handle stays comfortable and cool to the touch, even when the coals are blazing, and the heat shield gives extra peace of mind. It is built well and feels like it will last for years of summer cookouts. Easy to use, easy to clean, and worth every penny. A a must have for anyone who grills regularly! ... show more

    • Large Chimney Starter
Style: Chimney Only Size: Standard
The Weber Chimney Starter holds a large amount of charcoal briquets. One shhet of newspaper placed under the starter is enough to quickly light the charcoal. It takes about 15-20 minutes for a full starter to have the charcoal ready to cook on. Construction seems pretty sturdy and it comes fully assembled with instructions. ... show more

    • Good choice for Lodge Sportsman Grill
Style: Chimney Only Size: Compact
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. ... show more
