## Description

From the manufacturer Comparison Pizza Stone Rib Rack Ceramic Grill Pan Premium Salt Pepper Mill

Review: Fast, Easy and Reliable BBQ Starter – 5 Stars - Excellent BBQ accessory – 5 stars all the way. Very impressed with the quality and sturdy build of the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter. It lights charcoal briquettes quickly and evenly without needing lighter fluid, which makes barbecuing much easier and cleaner. Simple to use, reliable and saves a lot of time when preparing the BBQ. Good size capacity and feels built to last. Excellent value for money and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys charcoal cooking.
Review: Magic, but be aware of the size - I'm new to BBQing and this is an absolutely magical item. You simply put charcoal into the top, some sort of firelighter (or even paper towel soaked in oil) underneath, and in 15-25 unattended minutes you have red hot coals! It's enabled me to do way more midweek BBQing - I even fire up the grill just for a couple of steaks in winter now as I much prefer keeping all the smoke and grease outside instead of in the kitchen. One thing I'd say is to be aware of just how large this is. Obviously this is a great thing for filling a large BBQ with hot coals but it is quite large to store, plus you have to light quite a few coals at once. I've found if I only need a few briquettes to do a couple of steaks, it's best to stack them on one side of the chimney starter and position the firelighters under that side. Spreading them evenly around the bottom doesn't always seem to get an even light when there are so few. But other than that, it really is foolproof. No lighter fluid, no waiting 45 minutes for the grill to be at temp, just blazing hot coals in 20-25 mins max. It is really great.

## Features

- Fast Ignition: Designed to light charcoal briquettes efficiently without lighter fluid, the Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter helps you get coals ready quickly for authentic charcoal barbecuing flavour
- Purposeful Design: The cone-shaped bottom grate and ventilated chamber help improve airflow around charcoal, supporting faster lighting and allowing fire starter cubes to ignite efficiently
- Durable Build: Made from hard-wearing aluminised steel, this chimney starter is built for repeated use and supports reliable performance during regular charcoal barbecuing
- Easy Handling: A sturdy side handle with a heat shield and flip-up helper handle allow for two-handed control, making it easier to pour hot coals accurately into your barbecue
- Convenient Size: The large 6 L capacity holds approximately 2.5 kg of standard charcoal briquettes, ensuring efficient fuel preparation for family meals and larger barbecue gatherings

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you get a carry case for this?**
A: Hi,  I'm sorry but there is no carry case for this item.

**Q: Is it good for the portable webber?**
A: It can be used for any BBQ that it'll physically fit on.

**Q: Is this really better than a £5 Asda chimney starter?**
A: Yes much better, for one it is much larger so you can heat up all your coals in it. Worth every penny. My husband says it’s the best thing I have ever bought him.

**Q: What sort of maintenance is required? How do you clean it?**
A: The chimney starter will only have ash left over from the charcoal so just wiping the chimney starter will a rag after use is the only maintenance required.
