Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter for Charcoal Barbecues/BBQ Accessory, Lights Charcoal Briquettes Quickly Without Lighter Fluid, Aluminised Steel, 6 L Capacity, 32 cm x 20.5 cm x 32.5 cm

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.

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.

Excellent. Coals were ready to tip into bbq after only 10 mins. Even heat. So much faster than before. Handle not too hot to hold, easy to use. Definitely recommend, wish we had one years ago.

The chimney is well built and can be handled easily and safely. It is very spacious, with only half of it necessary for a 47cm Webber Kettle. It needs 15 minutes to get the briquettes red hot and ready for cooking. It is worth every penny for the convenience alone.

It took a while to get the coals to full temperature roughly 30 minutes, mostly briquettes. I timed 15 mins from lighting and it was getting warmer but not hot enough to cook on by a long way. (Photo here after 25 mins) however it did a very good job of heating the coals consistently throughout and was simple to light. Zero effort once lighter cubes were lit. It's a decent size and catered for 4 adults comfortably, but any bigger you'd need to add more coal.

Good product well made strong and durable.

I treated myself to a new barbeque this summer and up until now i've always used instant light charcoal bags to get things started. However after researching things I felt it was time that I got myself one of these so I have a bit more control on starting the fire. The product works great and after about 20 minutes my charcoal was burning lovely and ready to be added to the barbeque. It does produce a lot of smoke when first started but that might be down to the charcoal I was using. Its well built and holds more than enough to get a fairly large barbeque going, The extra wire handle thing seems like it gets in the way but once you go to tip the charcoal out it makes a lot of sense and really helps with that process. The price is good and I imagine it will last me many years. All I can say is that having some heat proof gloves while using this is a must.

The Weber Rapidfire Starter – Large is exactly what it promises: fast, safe, and super reliable. No more messy lighter fluid or the frustration of slow lighting. Just fill the charcoal basket, light the edge with a match or lighter, and watch clean, even flames rise in under 15 minutes. Highlights: Efficient heating: Brings charcoal to perfect temperature quickly and consistently — ready in 10–15 minutes for searing or slow cooking. High-quality design: Sturdy steel construction stands up to regular use and high heat without complaint. Hands‑off convenience: Designed for safety—no need to blow on coals, minimize flame risk, and keep your face clear of smoke. Large capacity: Ideal for full-size grills and larger gatherings; it holds plenty of briquettes for longer cooks. This chimney starter has simplified every BBQ. Reliable, durable, and easy to use—whether you're firing up kebabs or smoking brisket. A must-have accessory for all grill lovers.
