This chimney starter is a perfect edition to the Weber Smokey Mountain. It is idiot proof and gets your charcoal going very quickly. The Rapidfire is solidly constructed and should last for many years to come.

I have went through several chimneys over the years. They were only a few dollars cheaper and they needed replacement after a couple of years mainly due to rust and failure brought on by heat. I have owned this thing for nearly 2 years and I can say it is built like a tank. One plus is it holds the proper amount of coals for a standard kettle grill. It also lights faster and more consistent than the other cheaper chimney's I have owned. The reason is the design; it has a cone shaped grate that ... Read More

Though the result isn't exactly like a real fireplace that I could burn logs in, it did make a pretty sweet bon fire, which unfortunately spread to the camper and the nearby ... Read More
Rating: - First Time User - Chimney Starter
I'd been on a mission for a new electric charcoal starter, backed up and read the reviews for this one from Weber. It seemed very simplistic and very functional, so I bought one. I have to say that this chimney starter is truly amazing! I wasn't thrilled with the amount of smoke generated from the smoldering newspaper in the first 5-10 minutes, but beyond that, the charcoals heated quickly and within about 15 minutes, the charcoals were ready to go. We cooked two thick steaks on it and it was fantastic! ... Read More
