Why use a Chimney Starter?

Theres only one sure way to ensure perfect ignition every time: use the Weber chimney starter. Fill the chimney starter with briquettes and use firestarters to light them. You will need 2-3 of them to light a full chimney starter. This way youll have perfect briquettes in 20-25 minutes, and you can prepare the food while they heat up.

The Weber chimney starter holds precisely the amount of briquettes required for barbecuing in a 57 cm charcoal barbecue. Remember to use a pair of barbecue mitts when transferring the hot briquettes to the barbecue.

Hold the guide bar in one hand, grip the handle with the other and distribute the briquettes according to the barbecuing technique you want to use.

Reuse the briquettes
Close the barbecue air vents when you have finished cooking. This will extinguish the briquettes, and you can use them again. The next time you want to barbecue, fill the chimney starter with one-third of fresh briquettes. Then fill the rest of it with used briquettes. Simply light them as usual “ and enjoy the satisfaction of recycling
