Review: Got coals with little effort! - I love this thing! I throw some newspaper or the charcoal bag under the basket. Put some vegetable oil on the paper, fill the chimney and wait. In about 20 to 30 minutes the coals are hot and ready to go! I tried the soak it down with fluid method and never got the results I wanted. This works perfectly every time! I have used a few brands if charcoal too! And they all work perfectly! I couldn't ask for better! When mine wears out, I'll buy another one for sure! Totally worth every cent!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many pieces of charcoal does it hold**
A: I get about 50 Kingsford briquets in mine.  Enough to cover about 1/3 of the bottom of a 22" kettle, so fine for a couple of burgers or a couple of chicken breasts.

**Q: Anyone feel like this is too small, or wish they bought the larger sized one instead?**
A: For many smokers, you light 20-40 briguets (for which this is a perfect size), then dump the fully lit one onto a much larger basket of unlit ones. This gives you a very long (8-14 hours or more) slow smoke for brisket, pork butt, etc.  For this kind of use, this chimney is perfect.

**Q: does this work well with lump charcoal?**
A: It works perfectly fine with lump charcoal.  Your coals will be ready for cooking in less than 20 minutes.  The only negative about this chimney is that it is really quite small; so, it works best with small portable grills.  I think most people would be better off with the full size chimney, as you have a bit more versatility as to the amount of charcoal you are lighting up.

**Q: What is handle made from?**
A: The handle is some sort of plastic wrapped around metal, as near as I can tell.  It is far enough away from the chimney that it doesn't appear to get hot even when the coals in the chimney are glowing bright orange.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grill lighting made easy
*by B***T on January 14, 2026*

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!
