  • 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

This stubby lighter is a great product for small Q's like a little Weber, or my Korean table top grill

  • 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

  • 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

  • Smaller size is good for portable grils and Dutch Oven cooking!
Style: Chimney Only Size: Compact
My husband said he didn't need one...I don't think he realized what it was for!!! I explained it, but he still insisted. However I bought it for him anyways because I knew if I wanted to use the grill I would want to use this even if he didn't. Guess who has used it each time we used the new grill and finally admitted to liking it. We've used it multiple times now and it's perfect for the size portable grill we have, holds just enough coals. This gets the charcoal going and hot and it is easy to dump out. We haven't used it with paper or a started yet because we had bought the self lighting coals that have the lighter fluid built into them. So we filled it with those and he would lay one under where you would put the starter or paper and light just the one. It would quickly catch all the others. We will be trying it with regular coals in the future and will probably need the paper or starters then. Hubby does not like the taste of cooking with these, though it's still better than our old gas grill he said he can taste the lighter fluid too. I guess my taste buds are not that distinct! The plastic handle is just far enough away that it does get warm, but not too hot and doesn't melt. Also if you tilt it just the right way it helps protect your hand from the fire, because it is at a distance. I would recommend these to anyone wanting to have a quicker way to start their coals and get them all evenly hot! I hope to use this in the future for dutch over cooking as well, just need to get my cast iron pans first! It will make a good amount for those as well. ... show more
