Q: Is Weber chimney one that you put paper on bottom and charcoal on top and light the paper
submitted by Steve - 4 years ago
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.
submitted bySky02445 - 4 years agoA: Hello! With the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter you would put the charcoal on the inside and the Weber lighter cubes at the bottom. Thanks!

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 - 11 months 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!

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.

Lightweight charcoal starter makes grilling a breeze. Simply add charcoal, light newspaper, and wait for ashed coals. No more messy starter fluid or electric starters needed. Wish I had discovered this sooner!

I hadn't used a chimney starter before and it's been amazing to use. It gets the coals to a great temperature in 10-15 minutes with basically no fiddling.

I'm late coming to this method starting a fire. Lighting charcoal was always an arduous and sometimes frustrating process. Using the Weber Rapid Chimney Starter changed everything.. Following the direction I was amazed how things went so smoothly. Starting the charcoal fire now is as simple as 1, 2, 3.
Almost Perfect

I like the size of this chimney and the cone shape in the bottom helps get all the briquettes lit evenly. My only complaint is the handle gets hot to the point where I needed gloves to hold it. If it had a wooden handle or other heat resistant material it would be perfect.
Well worth it

For charcoal users, you can’t make a fire that’s cleaner (no starter fluids) or faster (airflow physics). All the coals are ready to go at once, after about 10 minutes.

Highly recommend this chimney fire starter. Very easy to use and works great. It's much better with briquettes than lump charcoal because the lump pieces could be small and fall out the bottom.

This large chimney is essential for charcoal grilling. I don’t like the taste of lighter fluid and this is so simple to use. I wouldn’t use my Weber grill without one.

This makes the coals start burning nice and quick. Pour in your favorite charcoal up top and light some newspaper in the bottom and you're all set.
Awesome

Works great - get a brick/paver underneath it. I have a slate patio and this got hot enough to make one tile flake away. 100% user error, but get one of those 12"X12" pavers to put underneath it.
Does away with lighter fluid!

I'm new to charcoal cooking and rather impatient, so anything to help speed up the process in establishing a hot bed of coals sounds good to me! This is easy to use and works great, especially when used with the firestarters.

I’ve had mine for years and works great. As an additional plus for this is that I use it for making coffee on the beach when camping out on fishing trips with my son. Just add a little charcoal, place it on the sand or a brick, light it up and place the coffee pot on top. Good hot coffee in minutes.
