Customers are mixed about the size of the charcoal briquets. Some mention it's the perfect size for a small grill, while others say it'll be too small for lump charcoal. The grate is small, so smaller coals will slip through.

424 customers mention290 positive134 negative

Customers are mixed about the heat resistance of the charcoal grill. Some mention that it does not get hot because of its composition and a heat shield in front of it. It works very good and gets the coals hot quickly, burning for a long time at a nice even temperature for smoking ribs. However, some say that the handle helps but it still gets too hot to handle without hand protection, and the metal is very warm when this thing gets the charcoal.

"...is prefect and the coals now burn for a long time at a nice even temperature for smoking ribs, port shoulder, brisket, etc...." Read more

"...I really like that the plastic handle stays cool, though the heat shield in front of it can get pretty hot." Read more

175 customers mention120 positive55 negative

Customers are mixed about the charcoal capacity. Some mention that it holds a perfect amount of charcoal to BBQ for about 1-3 people, with about 30 briquettes. They say it has plenty of room inside for a big pile of coals. However, others say that it only holds one full sheet and does not have the capacity for larger grills.

"...Large enough to fire up enough coals to cover the grill surface...." Read more

"...now and it's perfect for the size portable grill we have, holds just enough coals. This gets the charcoal going and hot and it is easy to dump out...." Read more

"I have a small Weber grill and this still doesn’t hold much charcoal. So, I wouldn’t get this unless you are using a very small grill." Read more

"...I'm just cooking a steak or a burger or two as it holds just the right amount of charcoal that I need." Read more

Excellent product. Poor packaging
5 Stars
Excellent product. Poor packaging
Weber charcoal chimneys are excellent products that I’ve used for years with no issues. However, the packaging with this product is deficient but not worth sending back. However, needs to be resolved.
