Title: Used my new Webber chimney
Post by: tekn50 on April 24, 2015, 07:27:33 AM

My cheap charcoal chimney finally rusted in half.  It lasted me 5 yrs this time, not bad.  It all was did an alright job of lighting the coals.  This time i spent the extra 4 dollars, and got the Weber one.  It lights real nice, and a lot quicker.  It is huge though, I only filled it up half way.  I dont know why I did not spend the extra 4 dollars years ago.  No pics today but things all came out good.  Had teriyaki beef kabobs, crab legs, asparagus, avocado, and zucchini.  All done my Weber kettle, I have nothing but love for my Webers.

I think "cheap" is the default position for most of us. ;D And - it is often the reason most of us "buy twice".

It is usually worth a closer look - to find out why one product is considerably cheaper, in a highly competitive market.

Sounds like you found the right one this time tho! ;) :D

Yes. Pay a little more now or a lot more later!

Weber is a brand you can always stand by for quality.

Cheapest isn't always the least expensive. Quote I heard along time ago. I live by it.

I totally understand!  I'm looking at buying the compact chimney for those times when I'm doing an indirect cook and don't have to use much charcoal.   I just haven't found one locally yet.  Here is the link to the Weber site.

Weber has top notch accessories that can also be used in other equipment.

I just replaced my old one too with the weber and agree on the speed.
