FAQs
Do I need to use lighter fluid with this set?
No, the set includes lighter cubes designed to ignite the charcoal without the chemical aftertaste associated with lighter fluid.
Can I use this with lump charcoal?
Yes, while designed for briquettes, it works effectively with lump charcoal, though air circulation may vary based on the size of the chunks.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
The handle features a heat shield, but it is always recommended to use heat-resistant grill gloves when handling the chimney.
How many coals can the chimney hold?
The Rapidfire Chimney is sized to hold enough briquettes to fill a standard Weber charcoal grill grate for most common cooking tasks.
How should I clean the chimney?
Typically, the heat of the fire burns off debris. If needed, you can brush off the inside once it is completely cool.
Troubleshooting
Charcoal is taking too long to light
Ensure the chimney is placed on a level surface and that air vents at the base are not obstructed by ash or debris.
Lighter cubes burning out too fast
Check that the chimney is placed in a spot protected from strong wind gusts, or use an additional lighter cube if the weather is cold/damp.
Pros and Cons

- Provides perfectly ashed-over coals in minutes
- Durable, long-lasting construction

Cons
- Metal handle and body get very hot during operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your kit, simply fill the chimney with the provided briquettes, ensuring you do not pack them too tightly to maintain airflow. This set is compatible with any charcoal-based barbecue or smoker. For care and maintenance, store the chimney in a dry location to prevent corrosion. After use, let the chimney cool completely on a non-flammable surface, such as your grill grate, before touching or storing. Never pour water on the chimney to speed up cooling, as the sudden temperature change can warp the metal.
