    It's Sunday afternoon and I went to Lowe's because they had a sale on Kingsford original charcoal, 2- 20 lbs for $16.98; 40 lbs for 17 bucks is a pretty good price, but I'm glad I caught your video first because while there I also bought the Weber Chimney starter that you shown for 19 bucks. They also had the Kingsford one also and was 8 dollars cheaper, but it was a lot smaller, so I bought the Weber but I won't be barbecuing until next Sunday but because of this video I'm confident that I made the right choice.

    I've only used the Weber ones, full size and half sized ones (for 14" and 18" grills and WSM) and love them. When I've had the big one at 3/4 full or more, that second wire handle really comes in handy for stability and pour aim, I think it's a great feature and I've never needed a glove for it. Even with the main handles I don't always have a glove on, I've just never known them to be too hot? I think I often pour at the 12-15 mark, not as long s you went. Great overview!

    I have both a Weber and a cheap expert grill brand from Walmart chimney. The expert grill is noticable smaller, and it takes noticably longer for the coals to get ashed over on top. Even a full Weber with more coals in it gets going faster than the smaller cheap one. Now I just need a Weber kettle master touch to go with it and I can scrap my cheap off brand grill.

    Back in my Scouting days, we made these out of #10 cans (or old coffee cans) that were past using as billies...they either got painted red for fire water buckets or turned into chimney starters. With a drill, wire snips and 4 gage steel wire, you were good to go. The commercial ones are much nicer but don't like spending a lot on these, since they are fairly disposable.

    Johnny I liked this. I'm simply a Webber guy. That's the only chimney started I have purchased. I've had several standard chimneys and one of their short ones ( very nice when you don't need a full chimney like starting my IVS. My only complaint with Webber on their chimneys is they wear out to fast. Anyway what I find amusing to me about chimney starters is how many folks still don't know about them. I believe I have mentioned before my Grandfather started teaching me how to grill when I was about 5 years old so that would be about 57 years ago. The reason I mention this is because my grandfather showed me how to light the charcoal ( it was Kingsford) using a chimney starter. Except no one was manufacturing chimney starters back then. He would just use a big #10 sized coffee can. No handle, just a pair of offset channlock pliers ( I always keep a pair in my bbq tools bucket as necessary equipment) He'd just cut a second hole in the other end. Then he would insert a electric heating element you can still get to start the brickets. Pull it out in about 8 minutes, let it finish and that was that. You have no idea how many folks I have taught how to use a coffee can to light for a chimney starter when visiting them at their bbq. For lighting I just bunch up some newspaper, pour the charcoal on top. Light the newspaper by tilting the can enough to light the newspaper and set it back upright. It actually works pretty darned well. Anyway I apologize for the trip into the "way back machine ". Have a great day, if you see this today see you to night on Dashes live. 🌤🔥👍🍻

    Hi Johnny! What a very cool video and thank you for being so thorough! It just so happens that I am looking for a Weber Chimney Starter right now. Of course there are TWO different Weber Starters that makes the decision more difficult: the Weber That why I am reaching out for your opinion! I hope you'll help me. So the two Weber starters are Model # 7416 and the other is Model 7429. The latter is about $12.00 more to purchase and I have no clue why. I am using a Weber Master Touch grill here and yeah putting this new baby together right now. Hope to hear from you soon Johnny.

    • @Viewtoagrill
      @Viewtoagrill  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 7416 is the one I used in the video. The 7416 is also the one sold on the Weber website. I have seen the 7429 on Amazon but I don’t know what the difference is.

    Lump charcoal will come up to temp MUCH faster than briquettes if you need a quick fire. Start it up with one Weber cube, hit it with an old hair dryer, and you can have a raging fire in 6 or 7 minutes. This is what I tell guys who use gas grills who complain charcoal takes too long. Yeah, standard briquettes with standard starting methods do take too long.

    I have a Weber but think I preferred the slower starting ones. With those I could light the chimney, then prepare the food, cut vegetables, etc. and the charcoal would be ready about the time I was ready to cook. With the Weber I have to prepare the food first, then light the charcoal so it actually wastes 10 or 15 minutes. The quick release chimneys looks like they could be a disaster waiting to happen.

    Excellent Review. I have both the Weber Rapid Chimney and the Walmart Expert Grill Chimney and the Weber is faster lighting and far Superior to the Expert grill and holds more charcoal. I use 1 Royal Oak Tumbleweed under my Weber Chimney to get it started, usually takes about 15 minutes. Great Review and i would love to see you do a video of different cooking grates for the Weber Kettle grill if you have not done so already, I replaced my Members Mark 22.5 "kettle cooking grate with a .25" Heavy Duty Stainless Steel cooking grate from Amazon and love it.

    After 12 years i finally had to retire my Weber chimney starter, i replaced rivets with bolts and there were holes forming all over, so today i purchased the Char Griller chimney partial because the Weber was out of stock but the Char griller was the first bottom dump ive seen that has a similar capacity for coals and i always wanted to try a bottom dump, one reason was i sometimes would get a sting from the embers flying up when i dumped it wheras the heat shield on the Char Griller seemed to block it when i released the coals, time will tell if it lasts as long as my old Weber did.

    The Weber is right around $30 now so I was wondering if there was really any difference between theirs and others and whether it'd be worth the money. And wow, the Weber really beats them! I would owe that to the nice big vents on the bottom and the wire basket, since it allows for a great deal of airflow. Thanks so much for this video, I found it to be very useful!

Since there is already used charcoal in my Sow n Sear, the smaller chimney starter is the perfect size to top it off. Take care Tim.
