I think they had something like the ones you are describing in ASDA the other day

Louise

I had one of those krisburs from Tesco's or Asda in their end of season sale, cost less than £1!

Wilkos do some cheap portable style bbq's that may be suitable too

http://www.iwantoneofthose.com/outdoor&travel/bbq&garden1/index.html  I wonder if this is the one that lesley meant, I wonder, although it is £20, I think our friends got the same one for a tenner from towsure, but after using it three times, I would not recommend it.  And although we have paid £20 rather than £10 (our friends paid £20 in the end as it did not arrive in time and they had to pay an extr £10 delivery), we threw it away.   All the legs buckled underneath it and it would not stand up.  It was just very rickety and fell to bits very easily.

We bought one yesterday from Atlas Leisure, Fenton, Stokeone Trent  It all folds down (sorry, don't know where in Staffs you are, but unfortunatley we had the last one.)  This is the one though http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Caravanstuff4u_Cooking-Outdoors_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ16QQftidZ2QQtZkm  and at the same price as we paid.  They did have one other design there though, a round one, which did look quite sturdy too.  Although we have not tested this one out yet, it is altoghether much more sturdy than any portable bbq I have ever seen and it folds into itself so the charcoal dust does not get everywhere.  

The ones in Asda, we have had before too.  And for the money we paid they served their purpose well, but we threw them away at end of season.  Of course you can afford to at that price.

The only problem I could see, would be the handle melting, but yes.   We usually use a metal tray (you know the disposable bbq type) on a couple of bricks and that works good for us. 

Did you see those Mary Quant Logs in there, they keep you warm for ages, apparently.   We did use one on holiday, but unfortunately too much wine to quite remember how warm it kept me.......

Did make use of those parabolic heaters they sell in there though.
