        It saves time and I don't have to use lighter fluid, which people often taste in their food when using 'match-lite' or heating charcoal the traditional way.

          Comments about Weber Chimney Charcoal BBQ Grill Starter:

          It really doesn't get any easier than this. It works every time, and there's no need to watch it or baby it. I don't have to wonder if it's going to blow out or not like some of the other chimneys I've used in the past. This is as good and as easy as it gets for starting charcoal.

          I put a "doughnut" of newspaper at the bottom, pour the charcoal in, light the newspaper and go back inside. Just don't leave it sitting on concrete. I set it on my outdoor fireplace.

            [...] Best price on the internet and no more charcoal lighter smell in the food, or start up times to burn it off.

                    I got tired of buying and spewing lighter fluid on my charcoal only for it to take up to 25 minutes for the charcoal to be ready...sometimes.

                    With the Weber chimney the briquettes are ready in 10 minutes. Now the only problem I have it how to use up the rest of my lighter fluid.

                      Two pieces of newspaper - one match - 15 minutes later the grill is ready to go. No need for starter fluid or petroleum tasting food.

                      Pros

                      • Creates Really Hot Coals
                      • Easy To Clean
                      • Easy To Use

                      Cons

                      • Cools slowly
                      • Discolors easily

                      Best Uses

                      • Barbeque
                      • Meat
                      • Vegetables

                      Comments about Weber Chimney Charcoal BBQ Grill Starter:

                      Put some paper in, put the coals in, light and wait. Easy and the coals hit the grill at a nice high temp. Sometimes I needed to add some more paper, so now I just use six sheets from the start instead of the recommended four and it goes great.

                      The only problems are that the sides tend to get metal stress discolorations from the heat, which I don't really care about if they are just cosmetic, and the fact that the thing cools slowly after you dump the coals out. So, I wind up putting on top of a brick wall for about 15-30 minutes while I'm grilling and before I can put it away.

                          I have no need for lighter fluid any more. The coals are ready faster and it holds plenty. It even worked using all old coals.
