This compact Weber chimney starter is best for smaller grills, quick cooks, and low temperature charcoal setups. It fits the Weber Go Anywhere for storage, works well on a Smokey Joe, and can be used on a 22 inch kettle when you do not need a full load. The starter is praised for making charcoal grilling easier, avoiding lighter fluid smell, and holding up well over years of use. The main limitation is size, since it holds about half a full chimney and may feel too small for standard kettles or longer cooks.

It is smaller than a full-size chimney and holds about half a load, so it can feel too small for a standard 22-inch kettle if you want a full bed of coals. It works well for smaller grills like the Smokey Joe, low-temp cooks on a 22-inch kettle, or quick cooks where you can add more coals later.
Yes. It is designed to light charcoal without lighter fluid, which avoids chemical smell or taste and can be just as fast or faster than fluid-based lighting.
It can hold up for years of regular use, with reports of units still looking good after three years and still working after 15+ years even when rusty. One long-used regular-size Weber chimney lasted 13 years before falling apart.
Yes, this compact version was made to fit inside the Weber Go-Anywhere grill for storage. It can also fit inside the grill if the grate is cut into two pieces.
Use it on top of the main grate with plenty of open airflow, because it needs chimney-like ventilation to keep the coals burning. If airflow is restricted, the coals can go out before they are ready.

Pro tip: make sure you're using it on top of the main grate. High flow of open air needed (like an actual chimney) or it won't get enough air to work. Coals will not stay lit—you will be upset and cry. You..not me... I'm a man!
