WEBER® CHIMNEY STARTER (7416)The Weber® Rapidfire™ Chimney Starter has a cone shaped charcoal grate that exposes more briquet edges to the flame, which in turn speed up ignition.  Simply place the charcoal starter with coals over Weber® firelighters or crumpled newspaper and light.  In under 20 minutes your coals will be ready to cook over (without the need to use messy lighter fluid!) - then carefully pour the hot coals along the bottom of the barbecue or into Weber® Briquette Holders for easy fuel management.

About Riverside:

The Riverside Garden Centre has been established since 1997 and is owned and run by Russell and Jo Jeffery who take a very hands-on approach to every aspect of the business. They are always on hand to help and give advice.

Having moved away from being a more traditional garden centre over recent years and evolved into a modern outdoor living destination, Riverside now focuses more on quality and style than it ever did before.

LARGEST WEBER® WORLD BBQ SHOWROOM

Officially the UK's largest Weber® World Barbecue showroom Riverside stocks and displays every Weber® barbecue and accessory available from the small, portable charcoal models, the award winning Q™ range as well as the famous charcoal kettles and outstanding gas barbecues. As a World Store Riverside also stocks a number of exclusive barbecues and accessories not found in regular Weber® stores or outlets.

TRAEGER GRILLS

With the popularity of barbecuing and outdoor smoking growing at a phenomenal rate Riverside has become the 'go to' place for Traeger grills, pellets and accessories. Easier to use than a traditional barbecue a Traeger grill controls the cooking temperature for you and produces perfectly smoked food every time.

FURNITURE SHOWROOMS

Riverside likes to do things big and that includes their furniture ranges too.

With three large fully furnished showrooms bursting with big names including 4 Seasons Outdoor and Alexander Rose Riverside again offers the largest displays of both prestige brands anywhere to be seen in the UK. Be it dining, lounge or modular, virtually every product and set is on display and in stock at the Hertfordshire premises.

SILK PLANTS AND ARTIFICIAL WALL COVERING

To complement the furniture and outdoor living themes Riverside also specialise in high quality artificial plants and trees as well as UV protected foliage-covered screening panels. Particularly popular with interior designers, hotel chains and zoos Riverside's silks plants and wall panels have developed a good reputation both corporately and domestically.

SEE FOR YOURSELF

Everybody naturally will say good things about their own business but with 7-day-a-week opening and a fresh easy-to-use website Riverside happily encourage anyone to take a look round both in-store or online to see for themselves just how good Riverside is.

Only tried this twice so far but very impressed with the results. Only slight doubt is how long it will last as the metal seems quite thin.

the chimney makes lighting the charcoal soon much easier and quicker. Highly recommended

This product is ingenious and makes lighting our barbecue and transferring hot coals very straightforward

I thought this might be a bit of a gimmick but as it turns out it's absolutely brilliant. I only used a couple of sheets of newspaper the first time and it didn't quite take, so I tried with a few more it was fine. 3/4 filled it and it was just right for a 47cm Weber, 20 minutes later the briquettes were red hot and ready to be placed on the BBQ.

We got a Weber kettle BBQ for my husband last year. He loves it but lighting coals has proved time consuming and frustrating. So got him the chimney starter this year. I described to him how it works and how quick and effective it is. He looked very sceptical, giving the instructions the cursory glance I anticipated. But soon after greeted by the cry of "its ready, bring the meat". "It worked exactly as you said it would"; big smile. Hot ready to use coals in 10mins. No exaggeration. He is going to be the star of the church BBQ next weekend. Just wish we'd got it last year.

best bbq I've had. Cooks well and The chimney starter is a revelation although I couldn't get it to light with newspaper but one small firefighter and it was going! delivery was as specified next day. Ordered Thursday delivered and cooked on Friday! Took an hour to put together.

Do you want to get all your coals white hot at the same time? Simply poor them In the chimney, place a couple of firefighters underneath, light then wait 15mins, now pour onto the BBQ. Done! Really good mechanism for heating up the next round of coals if you're having an all day BBQ. There are cheaper versions on the market, but the build quality of the weber beats any I've seen.
