This Rapidfire Chimney Starter is a Compact version of Weber’s legendary Chimney Starter, it’s the grill master’s secret weapon that’s perfectly sized for easily igniting the coals in a portable or smaller charcoal barbecue, so you can get grilling faster. With glowing coals in as little as 15 minutes, this takes the guesswork and frustration out of lighting a smaller barbecue.
Engineered for speedy and safe charcoal lighting, the Rapidfire Compact Chimney Starter has a revolutionary cone-shaped grate that exposes more charcoal to the grate with a cylindrical cannister which funnels heat through the charcoal, for the speediest ignition possible (use with Weber Lighter Cubes for best results).
This chimney starter is perfect for anyone who is new to portable barbecuing, or an excellent upgrade for those looking to replicate the ease of using a full-size chimney starter, but for on the move, or when having a shorter barbecue session. Picnics, parties and festivals will all be more fun with the Compact Chimney Starter. So wave goodbye to lighter fluid, and say hello to pure delicious BBQ flavour.
