Very nice quality product with the Weber name. Should have purchased this a long time ago. I got the smaller one since I only burn 2 steaks a week. If I was to buy this again - I would the larger one for a few dollars more. Does a hell of a job and it's must for all BBQ fans. I did a video/GIF while BBQing at night. Good job Weber.

    This is the perfect partner to a Smokey Joe portable grill. I had been holding out buying a chimney as most are designed for a full size charcoal grill. Sure you could put less charcoal into a large one but it would be nice to have one that would work better with my Smokey Joe. I was just piling up the charcoal in a pile with paper under it and using a small kitchen torch to help it along. Depending the time of year and the weather it could take longer with a lot of smoke etc. and could take up or more than half an hour before the charcoal would be ready to use. With this chimney I have the correct amount of charcoal and I can have the coals ready and grilling in about 15 minutes, works very well. For anyone not wanting to spend the money on this, spend the money it makes preparing the coals so easy it is basically two pieces of crumpled newspaper in the bottom coals in the top half, light and let the chimney do the work sit back and wait. I would also recommend a nice pair of BBQ gloves to help empty this as it does get hot.

    This thing is AMAZING! We have the portable Smokey Joe grill and bought the chimney at the same time. Our first time bbbqing we didn't have the chimney yet as it hadn't arrived yet. It took us about 30 min after lighting the charcoal to be able to start grilling. With the chimney, though, we were ready to start BBQing in TEN MINUTES. Not exaggerating. We counted and it literally only took 10 min. I'm sold! Never lighting a grill without a chimney again!

    This chimney made igniting the briquettes a breeze. All I needed to do was fill the chimney with charcoal briquettes and light a couple of starter cubes placed under the charcoal. In the past without a chimney, it would take me an entire cannister of lighter fluid to get the charcoal to ignite. I would definitely recommend this Weber chimney to anyone who has a charcoal barbeque. It is a well thought out design. I liked the heat shield acting as a barrier between the chimney and the handle. The handle was cool to the touch even when the charcoal was red hot. There were enough openings on the sidewalls to let the air circulate through the chimney. The construction is sturdy and well made. There were other brands that were slightly cheaper than this Weber, but after comparing photographs of all the different chimneys and reading all the reviews I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I'm hopeful this will last many summers of backyard barbeques.

    Compr¨¦ esta chimenea de encendido junto a una Weber Smokey Joe y estoy muy contenta con ambas.

    La chimenea ayuda a reducir el tiempo de encendido del carb¨®n o las briquetas, adem¨¢s de asegurar que se prendan de forma homog¨¦nea. Tambi¨¦n sirve a modo de medidor, ya que ofrece la cantidad de combustible perfecta para usar con las barbacoas m¨¢s peque?as de la familia Weber -para las de 47 y 57 cm, mejor usar el otro modelo de chimenea m¨¢s grande.

    Otro aspecto importante que pocos comentan es que, a la larga, ayuda a conservar mejor tu barbacoa Weber.
    Conozco a varias personas que prenden la le?a, el carb¨®n o las briquetas directamente sobre la parrilla de sus barbacoas y, tras unos pocos usos, las parrillas se deforman e incluso el esmalte que cubre y protege el cuerpo de la barbacoa comienza a descascarillarse. Por tanto, es preferible encender el combustible usando este accesorio y renovarlo cuando se deteriore del todo que tener que comprar una barbacoa nueva o varios repuestos de la parrilla. A la larga, sale m¨¢s econ¨®mico as¨ª y te alegras de haberlo comprado.

    Conclusi¨®n: considero que la chimenea de encendido es un complemento ideal e imprescindible para tu barbacoa, ya sea de Weber u otra marca.

    Ich liebe diesen kleinen Anz¨¹ndkamin! F¨¹r einen Haushalt mit zwei Personen ist er wirklich ideal ¨C kompakt, handlich und genau richtig dimensioniert, wenn man nicht gleich f¨¹r eine Gro?familie grillt.

    Fr¨¹her habe ich mit Spiritus und Grillanz¨¹ndern improvisiert ¨C das war umst?ndlich und nie ganz zufriedenstellend. Mit dem Rapidfire Starter hat sich das komplett ge?ndert: Ein Grillanz¨¹nder (am besten von Weber selbst) reicht v?llig aus, um die Kohle zuverl?ssig zum Gl¨¹hen zu bringen.

    Mein Tipp: Lasst euch Zeit. Einfach den Anz¨¹nder darunter legen, den Kamin gut 30¨C40 Minuten durchziehen lassen und die durchgegl¨¹hte Kohle anschlie?end auf frische Kohle umschichten. So bekommt man perfekte Hitze f¨¹r Steaks, W¨¹rstchen und Co.

    Fazit: Klein, aber leistungsstark ¨C ein echter Gamechanger beim Grillen!
