The downside of charcoal barbecues is that you often have to wait a long time before you can start barbecuing. With this charcoal starter, you can do things differently, and the coals are hot enough within 30 minutes. The briquette starter is a safe and easy way to enjoy your barbecue sooner. Place firelighters on the lowest grate and put the starter that¿s filled with charcoal or briquettes on top. The coals stay close together and heat up quickly because of the chimney effect. As soon as they reach the right temperature, you can easily pour the coals into the barbecue. This Weber Briquette Starter Large has room for 1.5kg of briquettes.
