    Quality made product, easy to use, however I should have read the dimensions better, as it is considerably shorter than my other chimneys, and doesn't hold as much charcoal. I would purchase it again, but I would be more mindful of its size.

    great price for a weber product, does what a chimney starter should do. Real Bbq needs charcoal, not propane, so this is perfect for any Backyard Bbq Chef of the family.

    This is simply amazing now I save a ton of money and never need lighter charcoal fluid and it lets me use less as well. It's a must have if you purchase a charcoal grill.

    Don’t know why I didn’t get one sooner. It’s very sturdy and should hold up for a good time to come. Not to mention the charcoal is ready very quickly also.

    I always thought one of these was a waste of time. I have to say I was totally wrong. It makes lighting coals much easier and without using lighter fluid.
