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.

A must have with any charcoal grill.

After many years using a gas bbq, I made the decision to go back to charcoal. Struggled with this starter initially, tried to start with paper which failed miserably and resorted to firelighters, which worked immediately.. and the coals were hot enough to cook on in 15 minutes.. how things have moved on! Will be buying one for my partner so he’s no longer wasting his money on instant lighting bags!

Fully recommend getting one of these, made lighting the coals evenly very easy and hassle free. DO make sure you get some bbq gloves for handling it!

This is the most amazing product you can purchase if you don't have a big BBQ grill but you don't want to use the fast light charcoal. I bought this starter together with a bag of Weber Briquettes and the results are so much better compared to the charcoal you can buy on Tesco or any other fast light charcoal. This is because you don't have to add all the charcoal at once on the BBQ grill, so this allows you to cook bigger pieces of meat or vegetables at a lower fire; besides, fast light charcoal has a lot more chemicals than the normal ones, so your food won't get the taste of any chemicals. And the best part: it doesn't take long to get it started. This is a big chimney, though, so if you have a small grill, I'd recommend you going for the smaller version.
