Works great, probably could of when with smaller starter. I used charcoal briquettes just at start up , the lump coal works well and good control of temp.

First use and the handle actually melted!! Not overly full, I got the rapid fire going and put the lid on an angle to block the wind. After 1/2 hour I came back to dump charcoal and start cooking and found the handle deformed and partially melted. Nowhere does it say to keep the lid off or in my case partially off. Plenty of airflow and not that windy. Would put new handle on if I could get ahold of parts department.

Works great, I really like the wire bottom verses the cheap ones at big box stores. There 2 sizes so make sure you order the right one. I bought 2 one for home and one for the lake house:)

This accessory us indispensable. Growing up I disliked charcoal grills due to the copious amounts of lighter fluid or impregnated briquettes people used. I researched extensively and learned the legitimate grill masters use charcoal chimneys to light their charcoal quickly and efficiently with no lighter fluid taste imparted to the food! In my opinion, this accessory is a must have in addition to a Weber charcoal grill.

Easy to use, but I do wish the bottom coils had a narrower gap. Otherwise, the chimney is excellent!

Awesome tool for grilling. This gets the coals going and ready in ten to fifteen minutes EVERY time. All you need is a small bit of newspaper or starter sticks. No need for lighter fluid that ruins the taste of the food.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
