Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter

Get your charcoal burning quickly and easily with the Weber Chimney Starter.

The Chimney starter is an absolute essential when cooking on a charcoal barbecue, allowing you get your fuel ready quickly, safely and easily. One full chimney is perfect for a 57cm Kettle barbecue and is recommended by barbecuers everywhere. Simply fill with fuel, place two or three lit Weber firestarters underneath, leave for 15-20 minutes, and your fuel will be ready to cook on. The chimney starter holds your fuel in place to prevent heat being wasted and will get high quality charcoal briquettes ready for use in under half the time than the conventional methods.

Weber say, "The quickest way to crackling briquettes and the nostalgia of charcoal barbecuing starts with one simple, yet amazing, tool. Every barbecuer's essential sidekick, the Rapidfire Chimney Starter, is the fastest and easiest way to get barbecuing and start eating. Get your fire burning quick with the must-have tool for all charcoal barbecuers. The durable, aluminized steel Rapidfire Chimney Starter has two handles to provide optimal control when pouring hot briquettes  - wearing gloves, just grab its thermoplastic handle with one hand and its top wire handle with your other hand to direct fuel onto your charcoal grate. Its cylindrical canister holds enough charcoal to fill your kettle barbecue, and its cone-shaped bottom ensures that briquettes light quickly and evenly. To use your Rapidfire Chimney Starter, simply place it over a lighter cube or crumpled newspaper, light your preferred fire starter, and you're well on your way to burning red-hot briquettes in less time and completely lighter fluid free."

Disclaimer - A chimney starter is constructed using a thin metal conducive to the effective conduction of heat. Very rarely we find that this section becomes misshapen during transit; you will be able to easily bend it back into shape should this occur, this will not effect how the item works.
