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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this product! *by F***Y on 22 August 2022* This is the best purchase I make in a long time You don’t have to use lighting cubes or anything special, just newspaper rolled up on the underside works perfect.

Fue tan sencillo como colocar 2 cubitos de encendido (de la misma marca) en la parrilla inferior, depositar carbón casi hasta el tope en este peculiar aparato y colocarlo encima de dichos cubos, para que, en alrededor de 5-10 minutos (la verdad no cronometré) hubiera una cantidad de carbón encendida suficiente para vaciarlo sobre la parrilla inferior y comenzar a preparar la carne. Ojo aquí, en ese tiempo que menciono, se encendió casi todo el carbón que contenía el encendedor (valga la redundancia), salvo la parte de hasta arriba, pero eso lo hice intencionalmente para reducir el riesgo de meterme un quemón al ser la primera vez que lo usaba, sin embargo, si lo hubiera dejado unos 5 minutos extra, seguro se encendía todo. En este caso bastó con depositar el carbón encendido y extenderlo un poco (lo hice con una palita de madera porque compré un encendedor, cubos de encendido, el asador, pero al parecer no se me ocurrió en ningún momento comprar pinzas metálicas), para que después de un rato se expandiera el fuego uniformemente. El encendedor se siente sólido, más no como para que te confíes, hay que manejarlo con cuidado y preferentemente con guantes, puesto que si en un descuido tocas el cilindro no soy experto en termodinámica, pero sospecho que te vas a quemar, y feo. En resumen, cumple su objetivo: prender el carbón rápidamente y optimizar el tiempo invertido en la preparación de la carnita. ## Frequently Bought Together - Weber Rapidfire Chimney Starter, Standard, Silver - Weber Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill, 22-Inch, Black - Weber Premium 22 Inch Charcoal Grill Cover --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/717703097-weber-stephen-company-7429-rapid-fire-chimney-starter-silver](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/717703097-weber-stephen-company-7429-rapid-fire-chimney-starter-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
