Review: Easy to grill - The Weber Rapidfire Compact Chimney Starter works great and makes charcoal grilling so much easier. It lights the coals quickly, the size is compact but still very efficient and perfect for small to medium grill like us. Durable, easy to use, and a must-have for BBQ lovers!
Review: A got to have item - Wow - I should have gotten one of these years ago. It is the smaller version but I use it with the smaller 18" Weber so it is adequate for a small cook. If you are cooking for more than two people you should probably get the larger one. It seems a little flimsy but is holding up well and boy, does it get those briquettes going strong is just a few minutes. Super easy to use and saves much time and frustration.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, Easy, & No Fuss makes this a plus!
*by I***U on May 6, 2014*

Most people look at it and wonder - Is it worth the money? Well it used to be that you would pile your charcoal up in a pile.. squirt about that much fluid on it.. look at it.. and squirt a bit more just because... light it and watch the mini bonfire that was in your grill and hope you didn't burn down the patio (or something else if the wind shifted)... mean while in the middle of such you remembered that you didn't open the vents and curse while tapping them open as your carefully constructed pile of charcoal fell from the tapping/shaking which then left you trying to pile the briquettes back up in a pile using whatever was handy at the time (normally one of the BBQ utensils), and at the same time you tried your best not to loose your arm hair in the process and searing the flesh from your knuckles, with the worse case scenario being the briquettes only half lighting due to the collapse and you now having to spray more fluid onto the already half lit briquettes and hope you don't catch fire in the process. So this is how it went down... The Grill- Bought the Silver Smokey Joe, here on Amazon (no tax & free shipping... yes I know not all states are not tax free now, so if you are living in one of those unlucky states see this as a convenience factor) The Fuel Source- I used kingsford briquettes (standard blue bag kind) and filled this new gadget to the rim (watch your big box stores who are either Blue or Orange for charcoal to go on sale during/just before summer holiday periods- Memorial Day, 4th of July, Fathers Day). Ignition Source- Placed a single Weber 7417 Firestarter Lighter Cube on top of the charcoal grate in the grill, Placed the chimney over it, picked it back up and then re-adjusted the lighter cube to be under the center of the chimney. Due to the handle on the Chimney it won't be in the center of the 14" grill... once it was were it needed to be I lit the cube and placed the chimney back over it Now I won't lie, the entire time I was thinking this isn't going to work.. So I watched it for 3-4 minutes and well it looked like it was doing something more than just burning the lighter cube. So I walked in the house to wash my hands and to get the meat, but if you have ever set up the BBQ only to come back and find that your briquettes are smoldering.... this is what I expected to come back to in another 4-5 minutes... I was wrong... I had a chimney full of nice hot coals. Now the top layer had not ashed over, but I dumped it out into the grill, spread the coals out and it covered the bottom of the smokey joe 14" grill. The 3-4 briquettes that had not ashed over fully quickly did so in the grill. We now go back to the original question- is it worth the money? YES, in my opinion, to have hot coals in around 10 minutes.. I'll take it over the original way we used to do it back in the day. No Fluid drowned charcoal required... no fussing...(and for those who use cheap fluid and/or don't let it burn out fully of the charcoal you do get a funky taste in your food.. just saying).. Now I will say I did have to add a few more briquettes to what was in the chimney, but this was also due to cooking a nearly 2 inch thick London broil on the grill.... if it had been something thinner then I would have been more than ok with what was in the chimney to start with. Keep in mind that charcoal will absorb moisture out of the air over time, and it will take longer to ignite or may not evenly heat/burn... so if you have a bag of it then you may want to store it in a plastic container with an air tight lid.. 5 gallon paint bucket would work (or several depending on bag size)
