Yes, when using this Chimney these days I have a different firepit for camping that has a small grill under, and this lights a lot quicker. As you say, less than 10 minutes.
Hi... I am trying to gather all supplies to start grilling this way. Can you tell me where to get natural charcoal, and which brand of chimney to use? Thank you
Used one today for the first time and was very impressed,I had the same experience with it taking about 40 mins to take properly but the end result was super hot nicely evenly covered briquettes
Thanks for the tutorial. With paper properly loaded and dry charcoal, the little chimney can be grey inside 15 min. About 20 for the larger. I've used these for years and love them. Hey kids, DO try this at home... and you'll never use lighter fluid again. :-)
I put a little vegetable oil (or some other cooking oil) on the paper before balling it up and stuffing it underneath. It burns longer which ensures the coals are lit. Works everytime
I just cut the top and bottom from a gallon ketchup can, fill with charcoal on the grill ( I use kingsford), raise can so bottom is about an inch from the grill, douse with lighter fluid, light at the bottom of the can with a long reach lighter. Works great. Use some pliers to remove can when charcoal is white.
I learned to twist the paper in to a roll, and make a circle around inside the chimney. Leaving the center more or less open for the air to get through. And some cooking oil on it does help.
First, stick an empty cardboard tube (think toilet paper roll or paper towel roll) in the center of the starter chimney and fill up with coal in the chimney around the tube. The cardboard burns up quickly and leaves a perfect space in the middle for that updraft. Game changer!
I prefer a couple weber charcoal lighter cubes under the chimney starter as the rolled up newspaper can be hard to light,its also smokey and small bits of burned newspaper go everywhere,with the Weber lighter cubes,you simply put them under it,light them and its job done.
I’ve been cooking a long time and haven’t noticed a difference but my smoker gets hotter, quicker when I don’t use the chimney. It works well for long cooks for me. It just comes down to preference. My opinion is after many years of using one it’s less of a hassle to me not dealing with one. But, like I said it’s what you feel comfortable with but those cubes are great. I’ve seen people using 3 but 1 works fine with me even if I use the chimney.
agree the cubes are great ,i normaly use two on a full chimney ,but im kind of new when it comes to weber kettle,i had gas grills before ,but im happy i got me a kettle for the food on it taste fantastic with some wood chunks mixed in :D
I first used paper but that blew a lot of ash around. I then bought lighter cubes and i only use one because i cut it in half and it makes little mess. It works great with this Weber product.
Actually, there's a sweet spot between using too much paper and not enough. My experience is that if you use too little it goes out before the charcoal takes over, and if you use too much it doesn't allow enough air to flow through the charcoal thereby accelerating the burn.
Others have already mentioned about allowing airflow underneath .a trick I use if I don't have a grill grate or other open bottom source is a decent size stick usually does th trick.. fill ur starter with coal to add weight and place a stick underneath th front when placing it down.. this will allow just enough airflow and u can stuff it with as much paper u want and a flat surface won't choke ur fire out.. or if ur creative.. place a few briquettes along the edge of th bottom or even 1 in front like a stick... th world is ur oyster. Lol.. keep on keepin awwn
That is doing it the hard way to light, and long heat up way. 1. Take 4 tightly wadded sheets of newspaper. Place them in the bottom, spaced to leave a heat channel up the middle of the 4 wads. With the paper still side up, you then easily light the paper in the center. Once it just starts burning, put the chimney right side in your BBQ, and fill with charcoal. Your coals will be ready in 20 min.
Never paid attention to how I stuffed in paper. Stuff it, light it, works every time. It’s paper. Like how hard is it to light ? Love the chimney starter.
@@CoLtS1821JOSH yes, any oil that you would cook your food in and eat will work. you can keep some cheap oil in a bottle around just for that use even used oil from a deep fryer works....
other tips: use a bbq glove that covers at least wrist, don't stand downwind when dumping it if windy, light it in a fire-pit if possible to shake ashes out of it (keeps grill ash free)
QUESTION: The amount of charcoal that you dumped out of the Charcoal Chimney Starter is about 30% of what the grill is capable of containing. The same thing happened to me. It ended up not being enough charcoal. Do you believe this is enough charcoal? Or should a person be using two of these Charcoal Chimney starters? Also, how long was your charcoal hot? ... Mine was very hot for about five minutes. It remained warm for another five minutes after that. By fifteen minutes, there was only one small section with heat. I was actually very disappointed with the Chimney Starter from Weber, because it took 45 minutes to heat up, and then the Kingsford charcoal didn't last long - presumably because it spent so much time in the Weber Chimney Starter.
You don't need 2 chimney starters. It takes about 20 or 30min to start them. If it takes longer you didnt put enough heat initially. Spread them across the area you want coals to be, and if the area is not covered (coals touching eachother) then just add more fresh ones. They will all ignite from the prepared ones. Personally i never fill the whole area with coles, i like to have a cooler zone to prevent burning your meat but still cook it more
I speed up the process by using a hair dryer (on cold mode) to blow air over the coals - takes me about 5 to 7 minutes to get coals ready for my smoker - I only do about 12 to 15 briquettes in a batch too - works like a charm
The most efficient & expeditious technique is to load the starter as you did with only briquettes NO PAPER! Set the chimney on top of the side burner on your gas grill & ignite. In 2 to 3 minutes kill the gas and watch how quick they whiten-up.
I agree 90%. (The only difference is that I like lump charcoal and not briquettes.) Tried putting an empty paper-towel tube in the center of the chimney starter to create a space for an updraft? It's AWESOME.
Buy the bigger chimney ,with the two handles, that ventilates better. Use two full standard sheets of newspaper. In just a few minutes you will have an inferno. When cooking just for myself ,I put the grate rite on top of the chimney and cook a burger or a steak right on top. Excellent results.
Yes, I've used the stuff before. The only issue I have sometimes found is that as it is a bit thicker than newspaper, it can sometimes smoulder rather than burn, but once it gets going, it works well.
If you have no newspaper, you can place a couple of small freighters on the coal grid, light them and place the coalfilled chimney over the top. I did this yesterday with charcoal briquettes and it took about 20 minutes. The starter chimney is most definitely a must have
Single square piece of paper towel crumble up with a little veg oil two of them, no paper ash floating around. Place on coal grate with bottom draft open for good air circulation. Good to go 15 - 20 minutes.

Dan Harris No not yet unfortunately. I found a lot less paper is required, and sometimes a gentle blow underneath. If there is too much of a breeze the paper does burn through a bit too quick and I've had to add some more fuel underneath. A lot of the coals in the middle will get hot, and when I see the top ones starting to turn underneath, I empty out. They could be left in the chimney to get hotter, but I found that there's enough warm coals to start. I then add fresh coals, which eventually turn white as well. So 10 minutes is not enough to have a full set of hot white coals, but enough to get them started.
Puta wad of newspaper inside the top compartment, then charcoal. Next put some newspaper under the bottom section. Don't over stuff this. It needs air to work. Light the paper all around the bottom. Perfect coals in 20 to 30 minutes.
+craigdoc34 That kind of depends on things like how much breeze there is, etc. However, I've not noticed the coals lasting any less when using this charcoal starter than compared to more traditional techniques like using fire lighters or BBQ lighting liquid.
Mike Brown the only real issues I've seen is too much paper, not enough air movement around it or too much air and it burns out too quick. I've been using them for years and love it. You also need real paper not those coated ads that feel slicks and are shiny. The guy in the video had was too much. Depending on the size around 1 to two complete newspaper pages loosely crumpled
they are fantastic ..one match stick and about ready in 15 mins ,it Works fine With some of the lighter cubes to never had any foul flavors from them either
Yeah, way to much paper. Less is actually better to get flame, more air! Plus you can drizzle a bit of cooking oil on the paper as well. I will get one of these. Thanks for the video mate!!
Hello good Sir! Can you please check out my take on how to start a BBQ Chimney starter? Let me know what you think.Thanks Greg! How to start a BBQ Fire Chimney w/ a gas leaf blower

Well, since you own a Weber's Chimney Starter, then you'll get a kick out of Weber's Lighter Cubes. Dump the newspaper & all that smoke. Lighter cubes are NON-toxic, NO fumes, NO smoke and NO bad after taste in your food.
+SooperFlye With the lighter cubes, I can get a full, large chimney of lump charcoal (pure hardwood instead of charcoal dust held together with glue, cornstarch, borax, sawdust and coal dust like Kingsford briquettes) going in 10 or so minutes.
There was way too much paper. No air could get through. What is that grill? It is poshest, most suburban grill I have ever seen. Getting advice from someone who has obviously never done this before was not a great idea.
I see no purpose on this ... 45 minutes to set the fire is no advantage.. even 10 minutes is not a real advantage agains't regular way + blowing a bit.
Disagree! Takes me about 15 this method. Without it is more work and time. I know people that use a blower or fan, no thanks. I usually light it up and walk away (yes, I remain insight) to work on my salsa, meat, etc) :)
Thanks for the tip jeffhrose
We'll be giving that a try.
I just use part of the paper bag the briquettes came in. By the time the bags done there’s no trash. Cheers 🍻
Works better on a grill, not a closed surface. Allows more airflow from underneath. Usually ready in less than 10 minutes. I'm using natural charcoal.

I used to use paper towels, quick and leave less mess. I don’t even bother with a chimney after I discovered the cubes.
Depends if you need some new fast fuel on a long cook session the chimney is real handy

You can use natural fire lighters instead of paper which gives off less smoke. 👍🏻
I finally got me a Chimney, putting a little vegetable oil on the paper gets the charcoal really hot....
I usually drizzle some cooking oil on the paper along with twisting it to make it last longer when it is lit.
I first used paper but that blew a lot of ash around. I then bought lighter cubes and i only use one because i cut it in half and it makes little mess. It works great with this Weber product.
45 minutes? Did that include the unboxing? Way longer than it takes me with my Weber chimney starter.
seemed like the paper was packed a bit tight? needs some air space especially if lighting lump charcoal
Thanks bro. Ran out of lighter fluid my cousin gave me one never used it. You saved mothers day!!!!!
Why would you use lighter fluid over a chimney?
Actually, there's a sweet spot between using too much paper and not enough. My experience is that if you use too little it goes out before the charcoal takes over, and if you use too much it doesn't allow enough air to flow through the charcoal thereby accelerating the burn.

Use Weber charcoal starter cubes. Approved in California. Less smoke, inexpensive, and coals ready in 15 min.

I’m curious on what briquettes you are using?
It works better if you roll the paper up and stuff it into the chimney base around the edges, leaving a hole in the middle.
The most efficient & expeditious technique is to load the starter as you did with only briquettes NO PAPER! Set the chimney on top of the side burner on your gas grill & ignite. In 2 to 3 minutes kill the gas and watch how quick they whiten-up.
For most people there's an excess of paper and they would rather use that than propane.
@@madtonesbr, perhaps most have excess paper (I don't). But propane doesn't create the excess smoke and ash.

If you have a gas grill with a side burner instead of using paper you can set it on the side burner, shut the burner off after about 3 to 5 minutes.
That’s a long time, I use about 2 thick napkins, put cooking oil all over them and light it under the chimney on top of the grill, works fast for me.
