The Product: Chimney Starter

Featured Merchants

The Weber chimney starter is extra large and has space for enough briquettes for indirect or direct cooking on a 22-1/2-inch kettle grill. Simply put a little newspaper in the bottom, fill it with charcoal, light, and in about 10 minutes the coals will be red hot and ready to pour onto the grill. The handle is made out of stay-cool plastic. Great no-brainer accessory for your charcoal grill. The Weber model is better than many of the cheap generic starts on the market. It is made of Aluminized Steel and has a unique cone bottom which allows for a fast start and a double thermoplastic handle which stays cool.

Devil's Advocate:

If using a chimney starter seems like a hassle, you may prefer the Weber Performer Grill.
