Customer Reviews for Weber Compact Rapidfire Chimney Starter

Perfect for the little grilll I have

Worked okay, but needed more coals that instructed.

Love the Charcoal capacity

Area for paper used to fire start charcoal too small and hard to light. Handle flimsy and has plastic grip that gets hot. Awkward to use. Totally disappointed.

Love how fast I get my grill going now! Highly recommend.

I have been using the regular Weber Lg chimney starter for many years did not know that Weber made this groovy little charcoal starter when I saw it I had to have it. This is perfect for the Smokey Joe also works very well for the larger Q's if you want to make a smaller bed "o" coals to cook smaller batches of food for yourself. Very cute and fires up quicker than the larger Weber chimney starter very impressed with this lil guy!

Too small and handle gets real hot

Worked like a charm.

It works perfectly. However the compact one is too small. I ended up buying the larger one also.

Purchased the smaller chimney to fit my 14.5” Weber Smokey Mountain smoker and also my Weber 21” Go Anywhere grill. Works as advertised - and no more Matchlight charcoal.

Nice but much smaller than expected. I hope because it is Weber brand that it will last longer than the last one we had.

Im sure it works as well as the larger one….but its just too small and doesn’t have the volume I need. Its best use would be for a ‘smoky joe’ or if you needed to have another batch of coals going on the side for longer grilling recipes

It operated exactly as I expected. Very good, excellent

The best way to light coals. I'll let the true grilling aficionados rave about how you simply *must* use a chimney instead of lighter fluid for taste alone. Used with two Weber lighter cubes, even lump charcoal will be white in under 20 minutes. Every. Single. Time.

Easy to use and does a great job.

Perhaps it's my fault but I got the impression it was larger. This is too small for an 18" Weber for 2 people or I use too much charcoal. Nice quality but doesnt work for me. Thought it was larger. Check product dimensions and compare to what you have 1st

Very nice starter tool ..

It does the job in an efficient manner.

Works well. Easy to use.
