P.S. This is true and no-one was hurt.

 

We have just bought a 'portable barrell BBQ' ready for our upcoming camping trip. Has very good reviews and sure it will be a good buy.

Got it for only £19.99 then a few quid postage. Can recommend the company, quick postage etc. Comes with two grills, so can be used as a double burner too. Hope this helps!...the link is here to the company I bought from.....

Another vote for the lidl ones here. We only use them at festivals, but these seem to light and cook the best of all the ones we've tried.

I have a Weber Go Anywhere portable bbq. A lifetime investment. You can't beat them.

Hello - newbie here! Apologies in advance if I'm making any errors!

We always use the tesco disposable BBQ - it's perfect for our needs of burgers, sausages, chicken, steaks etc.
We have no complaints. It's quite small and fits neatly under the car seats for ideal space saving.

Hope this helps

Nobody makes a decent disposable BBQ!

Personally I wouldn't cook a dogs dinner on one - they're full of petrochemicals to actually get the stuff to burn - some very interesting chemicals coming off that stuff! You may as well stick your sausages up the car exhaust to cook.

Most supermarket/DIY store charcoal is imported - often from dubious sources - and compared to UK made stuff it's garbage. Hard and slow to light, and because it's not well made - it produces a lot of smoke. We use and sell proper charcoal made by a guy in the Lake District. It will be ready to cook on in about ten minutes flat, will light with a few bits of scrunched up newspaper and a bit of a draught (no need for lighter fluid at all), is hotter than hell and virtually smokeless. We'd be cooking well before anyone with a disposable thing, and wouldn't have streaming eyes from all the smoke and chemical fumes either.

Charcoal briquettes are another thing to avoid - they have a list of "other ingredients" as long as your arm - none of which I'd want anywhere near me dinner! The "extras" are there to stick them together in briquette shapes - they're actually made from the rubbish swept up after the lumpwood charcoal is packaged.

Find yourself some UK produced charcoal - it really is a whole different ball game - AND you'll be helping to look after our native woodlands by buying it.

Makes a lot of sense, Greenfires.

I'll give this stuff a try this year, available from Sainsbury's.

Good man! Don't make the mistake that we did when we first discovered good charcoal years ago - we piled it up just like we'd been used to doing with the DIY store stuff - lit it, and then couldn't get near it for about half an hour! Burns way hotter than the imported stuff so you'll probably find you need a lot less to do the job!
