Weber Rapidfire Charcoal Chimney Starter Review | How To Use A Charcoal Chimney Starter

This Weber 7416 charcoal chilling anywhere prop this fifteen dollars Weber's chimney starter makes starting your charcoal a snap. It also cuts down the amount of time it takes for the coals to get ready. Just load up our extra large cannister full of coals, light up a fire starter or crinkled up newspaper, and set the cannister over the flame. In a matter of minutes the coals will be red hot. Who ever thought it could be so easy? ok much more five dollars well we're come into this predatory anyway they didn't know this about when the you actually gonna see isn't the bomb this is shaped like com where last just come lappy smelled holes in the bottom asked improvement it was there the year air side here which is another thing that the cheaper I was gonna give didn't I'm another great on this mile couple you know that you ran off plastic hand on the other hand was were this year call this hit the air because I don't really see any purpose for this this with Maria is they priceless for down a bit less that this handle I'm assuming $this has both a bigger do you like this but that even gonna Lee get to the fish a review on this tomorrow and get some smoke or not correct ago who had used weber.com when the charcoal chimney so we'll pick this review out she will tomorrow and I'll give you answers cinema alright sources we're back for this review and have to best bbq cooking channels newspaper vile this chimney you better abuse and black-and-white paper is long length world yet and they're up concern planet leave little race to the top and then we got these little vents on the side work we're gonna night newspaper murder alright so that is that we're gonna let that bad boy go for about How t so we will be finishing up this review maybe scale you do newspaper and charcoal lighter there's that simple we'll see if there's any better than the cheaper ones murder see you back in a bit alright so we're back it's been about This is the absolute best way to get your grill going.Unlike the little chimneys sold at Lowe's, this holds a lot of charcoal, enough to fill an entire kettle grill, and the airflow through it is very efficient. Two sheets of newspaper and a match, and your briquettes will be ready to go in 10-15 minutes. The aluminized finish on this resists heat and rust quite well. Other reviewers have commented on the helper handle, but the really key feature of this chiminey starter is the conical wire grid inside that holds up the charcoal. Unlike perforated metal plate inside the no-name chimeny starters, this wire grid lets all of the flame from the newspaper through to the charcoal, resulting in the charcoal lighting in half the time. how to start charcoal gonna take a look in there you think will be earlier I coming got a little Roger Clemens on you guys I think I misspoke a little bit earlier when I was seeing was when my other good Chile went out I was issues in lighter fluid think your letter gonna from iron makes in good enough for me to so I was your nap Minister realize how much money on spinnin lighter fluid in a probably wasting our money and lighter fluid in this three-way this should be good to go the handle actually pretty cool a brown glove just to be safe but I'm not gonna need their are that over there no hippie bbq I really don't see any what I guess if you wanted to you could do it like this little we're not gonna do that we just couldn't bring it over here dumped and I don't then on top of summer and which are cool and their so you invest I use it and the as far as mine review on this girl I definitely think is work next four dollars you could spin or five dollars hidden because been a little less getting the smaller weather howtobbqright fine if you're just use in like can agree on something like that for smoker think you need something a little bit bigger in terms of the cheaper models with just the flat metal ballistic bbq To answer the question, Kingsford works very well with a chimney.Fill it up, loosely wad up 3 sheets of newspaper and cram underneath, light it and set it down (take the cooking grill off your bbq and set the chimney on the charcoal rack, it will scorch whatever it sits on). Kingsford easily lights and is very uniform for heat management, it's a good product to cut your teeth on. Mesquite lump charcoal is excellent for the bbq. Problem is there are often large chunks in the bag that need to be broken down before they go in the chimney. I pay about $14 for a 40# bag of mesquite lump and the local Smart and Final. 2-3 times per year all the big boxes have a tremendous sale on Kingsford. Wal mart had the best deal for memorial day, 30# for about $5. They all should have it again for the fourth of July, stock up - keep it dry. I use brickettes, lump, as well as propane, central California grilling season goes from and again their little bit smaller so my rating on this fine a faster than I give this 5 stars are in way Turn the Chimney Starter over on put in 3 full sheets of newspaper crumbled up in the bottom area where there are vertical slits.Then turn it right side up (as shown in the photo) on your grill (I remove my cooking grate and place it inside the grill) and add Charcoal. Light the newspaper with a match or long lighter and wait until the coals turn GREY. (20-30 minutes) Do not try to cook with them before they all turn grey. Another tip is make sure when you are grilling you open the bottom vents on your grill to allow the air to pass through. This will keep the briquets burning. Also I made the mistake last time of putting in the charcoal first and then I couldn't turn over the Chimney starter (or the charcoal would dump out), but I was able to tilt it enough to add the 3 pieces of crumpled paper.Warning: There is quite a bit of smoke when it first starts burning so make sure you're not down wind use it in the future thinking about buying a chimney starter Homer my review helped CNNX video.
