The Chimney Starter, total game changer. Fill it with charcoal. place a piece of paper towel with some cooking oil on the grill, light it up and place the Chimney on it and wait 20 minutes, you will be glad you did!

Bought this recently and underestimated how well it would work compared to previous chimney starters. Got the coals going with a lighter cube. Went inside to prep my food. I'm used to it taking several minutes for a full chimney to be ready and I don't know what I did differently this time but when I came back out the charcoal was so hot it had melted the rubber on the handle. Keep an eye on this thing and don't turn your back on it

I hadn't used a chimney starter before and it's been amazing to use. It gets the coals to a great temperature in 10-15 minutes with basically no fiddling.

I'm late coming to this method starting a fire. Lighting charcoal was always an arduous and sometimes frustrating process. Using the Weber Rapid Chimney Starter changed everything.. Following the direction I was amazed how things went so smoothly. Starting the charcoal fire now is as simple as 1, 2, 3.

I like the size of this chimney and the cone shape in the bottom helps get all the briquettes lit evenly. My only complaint is the handle gets hot to the point where I needed gloves to hold it. If it had a wooden handle or other heat resistant material it would be perfect.

This saves a lot of time and money. I use the cotton balls in rubbing alcohol.

For charcoal users, you can't make a fire that's cleaner (no starter fluids) or faster (airflow physics). All the coals are ready to go at once, after about 10 minutes.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
