Weber Rapidfire Starter - Small (20cm Height), compact grill lighter with two handles, ideal for all charcoal grills from Ø 47cm, ignition aid for charcoal, briquettes - (7447)

This is the smaller version. It is ideal for use with the Weber Go-anywhere portable barbecue, not for the full-size ones. It is very effective at getting the charcoal well lit, ready to decant onto the barbecue. I have only used it with irregular lump-wood charcoal. It's fine. I guess it would be even better with barbecue briquettes. You need a pair of suitable gloves (rough gardening gloves will do), and you need something heatproof to put the chimney on once you have decanted the hot charcoal, for it to cool down. Not to be used with young children around - they won't appreciate the danger. It is EXTREMELY HOT. Snag: it is bulky. There's no way of reducing its size. So adds a lot of volume to your portable barbecue kit. Recommended though, for reliable starting. UPDATE, 1 year later Even better. Now I'm used to it, it gives perfect results 100% of the time. Works fine with wood charcoal or briquettes. If filled it is enough for cooking for 3-4. Three-quarters full it is fine for 2 people. It takes about 25 minutes between lighting (one fire-lighter is plenty!) and being ready to decant it into the barbecue. I wouldn't be without this. It is brilliant.

Having read reviews, I finally decided to buy the starter and it is fantastic. Just use one small piece of firefighter, full with charcoal or lumpwood, light it and allow 30 minutes to get a full chimney load of lit charcoal/Lumpwood. A great piece of kit for any BBQ station.

Solid and reliable

Really easy to use. Started the coals quickly. Was worried it would be flimsy like others I have used before but this is very sturdy. Only downside is that smaller than expected. But does a great job so really pleased!

Excellent item, this is the small, as I have the go-anywhere BBQ and this will do enough charcoal for half this bbq. So if you want a full bbq or have a bigger bbq then buy the large. Highly recommended

I don’t often do bbq but this means I always get it right. Great purchase.

Does what it says on the tin.

The other reviews are all true 😀. I've been messing about for years furiously fanning the charcoal with an old plastic plate, and more recently blasting it with air from an Air Hammer paddling pool pump. A chimney starter is the modern way and achieves the end far more effectively, in less time, and with zero effort. I'd never go back. As for this particular model, I've used it only once so far. It lights just enough charcoal for a 40x20 cm cooking area. A marginally bigger chimney wouldn't have hurt but this one is small enough to pack away inside the grill so it suits my use in the caravan.

good quality, nice and large

quality

avevo dei dubbi su come sarebbe arrivato, un oggetto così irregolare. Invece un confezionamento TOP con pluriball di qualità e ben avvolto tutto intorno. arrivato, è stato messo subito alla prova e... è veramente efficiente. Un paio di diavoline sotto, carbone sopra e in men che non si dica avrete la carbonella calda e pronta per un bbq medio. usato su un bbq di 90cm di larghezza, e ben profondo, ho dovuto metterci due "camini" weber pieni. e la comodità di poter cominciare a cuocere mentre l'altra carbonella è in preparazione ti permette di sbraciare a ciclo continuo. il metallo è spesso, diffidate da altri camini, di pari prezzo tra l'altro, ma che sono fatti di lamierina. qui abbiamo un spessore giusto, ottime saldature e, non di poco, un ottimo deflettore sul manico che evita arrivi il calore sul manico. che dire, usato per accendere la carbonella, a ciclo continuo, per una braciata per 50 persone ha incendiato ben 3kg di carbonella senza avere il benchè minimo accenno a flessioni o perdita di solidità. veramente ben fatto e ben costruito

I've used chimneys from FlameOn and other brands and this is, by far, the best chimney. Easy to start, it takes in air well and smoothly to ensure a quick and steady burn, and I'm up and running in 15 minutes without needing to attend to it. Fire and forget, leaving me to focus on preparing the rest of the BBQ. Buy this without hesitation or regret
