Good size capacity and feels built to last. Excellent value for money and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys charcoal cooking.
Review: The best £18 I've ever spent! IF YOU BBQ YOU NEED ONE OF THESE! - This is amazing - buy it now! Just stuff some newspaper in the bottom, add the coals, light the paper and walk away to get a beer! 15-20 minutes later the coals are glowing red hot. I've been known as the BBQ King for years by friends and family and love nothing more than entertaining whilst cooking on the BBQ. Cooking is the enjoyable bit, making sure everything is cooked perfectly so everyone is happy. The only issue I've had is finding the perfect way to light the coals. This has been a lifelong quest to find the best possible solution. The best way to stack the coals, which firelighters to use, fire gel or liquid, which coals, ways to let enough draft to the flame, but not let it blow out... You think you've found the right combination, but next time it's all different again. Unfortunately, factors such as the quality of the 'flame retardant' coals or firelighters, too much wind that blows the flames out or 'just one of those things' means that what should have been enjoyable ends up being a stressful hour wasted wondering if it'll ever light. But not anymore! Using this Weber Chimney starter was fantastic! So easy and so fast! As a first test run I did a really small BBQ for 3, something I often wouldn't have bothered doing as the hit and miss time it takes to light can seem a waste for such a small BBQ. That'll never put me off again. After 15 minutes I could have emptied it out an cooked on it. In fact, a word of warning: the coals were so hot in such a short time from lighting that the only issue I had was that I wasn't ready to cook on them for about another 30 minutes or more - as I was busy doing other jobs and perhaps drinking a beer! By the time I got to cook on them they were actually starting to lose some heat. But it was only a test, so not to worry - it gave me the excuse to light another small batch and in under 15 minutes they were perfectly hot and ready to cook on. So you can pretend that it's the manly 'fire starter' thing to do to have to spend the best part of the day stressing, lighting, re-lighting, wasting fortunes on fuel and firelighters, stinking of smoke from standing over it for so long and then feeling vaguely satisfied when you've at last managed it. Or you can get one of these and feel incredibly pleased with yourself that you've done your research and actually know how to light a BBQ the right way - with a single strike of a match you know it's all going to work perfectly to plan and in under 20 mins you'll be ready to cook. Leaving you more time to enjoy yourself while the chimney does its job! (Unfortunately, it may mean you're asked to help out in the kitchen, but you can always pretend it's harder than it looks!) I've not compared the Weber against any other slightly cheaper brands, but seeing as it's not that expensive, looks good and well built, will hopefully last forever, be a real talking point when friends come around, I think it's well worth the extra few quid to know you've bought the right one. IF YOU BBQ YOU NEED ONE OF THESE! Enjoy :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you get a carry case for this?**
A: Hi,  I'm sorry but there is no carry case for this item.

**Q: Is it good for the portable webber?**
A: It can be used for any BBQ that it'll physically fit on.

**Q: Is this really better than a £5 Asda chimney starter?**
A: Yes much better, for one it is much larger so you can heat up all your coals in it. Worth every penny. My husband says it’s the best thing I have ever bought him.

**Q: What sort of maintenance is required? How do you clean it?**
A: The chimney starter will only have ash left over from the charcoal so just wiping the chimney starter will a rag after use is the only maintenance required.
